Tasting Notes

Nose

Salty samphire with floral lavender — peppery spice and fresh citrus, immediately coastal

Palate

Softer and fruitier affair — citrus, juniper and lavender shining brilliantly, the sea water providing genuine maritime salinity with dulse seaweed adding smoky depth

Finish

Salty and bright — the Norfolk coast captured in spirit, samphire and citrus lingering

First Impressions
