◐ Taste

Entry is fruity and tart, with cranberry acidity playing against subtle vanilla character. The mid-palate shows layered spice that complements rather than overwhelms, while the complex acid structure keeps the body light and balanced. Bitterness remains very low, allowing fruit and spice to remain in focus.
