Initial notes of citrus zest are followed by hints of lemon cake, then toasted notes reminiscent of freshly baked brioche.<br />FLAVOUR: On the palate, there are aromas of mandarin peel and candied orange, enriched by a touch of star anise that emphasises the aromatic freshness of this wine.<br />The rich and dense mouthfeel has good length with a nice bitter finish.<br />
