Tasting Notes & Experience
Pale lemon in hue, the bouquet reveals white peach, lemon blossom, and fresh herbs over a base of passionfruit and subtle florals. The palate is crisp and layered, its citrus core framed by chalky texture and saline minerality. Lively acidity and a long, dry finish highlight the character of Te Muna’s ancient river stones.
