Fresh, enticing aromas of lemon rind and citrus blossom, are balanced with notes of almond and toasted biscotti. A round and rich palate of brioche and grilled nuts is supported with a finish of tart marmalade and subtle spice. The linear acidity complements this complex an layered palate, with a creamy mouthfeel and refreshing finish.
