Fresh grain and white pepper give the nose quiet definition, followed by citrus zest and a clean mineral note. Freeze filtration creates a polished, velvety texture while preserving enough grain character to keep the palate from feeling neutral. Creamy vanilla and soft almond emerge through the middle, balanced by restrained sweetness and a crisp line of citrus. The finish is long, smooth and exceptionally clean, with grain, mineral freshness and a final touch of pepper lingering behind.
