Brookdale Bradbourne White Blend 2023
Rich, open aromatics of honeyed peaches, glacé pineapple, with hints of beurre noisette and hazelnuts, curled through with fresh white roses. The palate is smooth and satiny delivering weight, breadth and length in complete harmony. Racy lime and green apple flash through, balancing the luscious core of stone fruit on the mid-palate. The finish slowly, slowly unwinds to a stony, monastic purity.
