◐ Taste

The palate leads with refreshing citric acidity and a crisp, clean base that frames the fruit flavors. Blood orange and peach notes develop smoothly across the mid-palate, providing natural sweetness that balances the acidic backbone. The finish remains tart and dry, with a brisk, thirst-quenching character that lingers cleanly.
