Wonderfully floral, with a prominent lavender note up front. Fresh lemon citric and more complex rhubarb malic acidities provide an energetic structure to the cup. Highly sweet, with blueberry and blackberry standing out.
Exuberant, expressive, layered with flavour and just a lovely cup from start to finish.

Drying Method
