Flavour & character

Aroma An intense and seductive bouquet. Sparkling notes of fresh kumquat and orange blossom are immediately recognisable, beautifully complemented by aromas of grapefruit, bergamot and a subtle spicy touch that highlights the natural oils from the peel.

Palate The mouthfeel is smooth, refreshing and exceptionally balanced. On the palate, layers of sweet citrus unfold, with a striking balance between the rich fruit sugars and the characteristic bitter notes of kumquat zest. The 28% ABV supports the structure beautifully, while lively nuances of mandarin linger harmoniously.

Finish A medium-long, crystal-clear finale. The fresh acidity slowly fades and gives way to a clean memory of gentle citrus and a refined, dry finish.
