Pours a clear, golden straw hue with a gentle effervescence. The nose offers lush apple character softened by notes of honeyed applesauce, white grape, and a whisper of lime. On the palate, it unfolds with vibrant orchard fruit, ripe McIntosh brightness, Dabinett weight, and subtle tannic structure, underpinned by floral and mineral accents. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving an airy tartness that invites another sip, light, balanced, and endlessly drinkable.
