◐ Taste

The palate enters with vivid fruit character—cherry and apricot lead, followed by peach notes that develop mid-palate. Pronounced sourness runs throughout, balanced by a dry, slightly puckering finish that refreshes rather than overwhelms. Bitterness remains subdued, allowing the fruit-acid interplay to dominate completely.
