The nose is intensely aromatic, dominated by expressive notes of elderflower and zesty citrus fruit. On the palate, it delivers a razor-sharp acidity that cuts through with precision, echoing the characteristic crispness of the Kentish climate. The mid-palate reveals layers of gooseberry and fresh herbs, providing a complex and vibrant texture. The finish is remarkably clean, lingering with a persistent mineral edge that invites another sip.
