Nose

• Fruit aromas: citrus fruits, probably lemon, green apple, possibly melon or other light stone fruit

• Some floral or herbal notes: grassiness, subtle herbal undertones.

Palate

• Body: Medium body (richer than the dry version, due to residual sugar and lees ageing) but not heavy.

• Flavour profile: Citrus (lemon / lime), green apple, maybe tropical fruit hints; a fruit-sweetness balanced with acidity; possibly with the lees contributing a bit of texture.

• Finish: Cleaner finish with sweetness tapering and acidity lingering; not overly cloying.

Finish

• Soft, rounded finish
• Lingering fruit with a gentle sweetness impression
• Clean, easy-drinking, not overly complex

Food Pairing

• Spicy dishes (sweetness balances heat)
• Asian cuisine
• Salads and light cheeses
• Seafood with sauces (not just grilled)
