Salmon orange color. Aromas and flavors of passionfruit, tangerine and apricot, strawberry shortcake, and oxidized yellow apple with a velvety, racy, spritzy, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, captivating, medium-length finish conveying notes of orange blossom honey and tangerine, dried apricot, passionfruit, and blood orange peel. Positively delightful; sweet, tart, sparkling, and with vibrant tropical fruit, this is truly nectar of the Gods.
