Lemon zest, honeysuckle and egg custard along with toffee, green-leaf herbs and soft spiciness on the nose. The palate brings boiled sweets, bitter lemon and salt, walking a knife-edge between all three.

Crunchy green pears and sour apple boiled sweets with lemon rind, at first. This is followed by a lovely coastal note that breezes in, bringing with it hints of wellies and the last cinders of a warm fire.
