Capreolus Apricot Eau de Vie (Exclusive to Hedonism Wines) 2021
"Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of our dear friends, Hedonism Wines, we bring the essence of 23kg of wild fermented, English apricots to each litre of this stunning Eau de Vie. Grown locally in Worcestershire, hand picked, hand graded, fermented with 10% of the stones, all is elegance and balance.
The nose, a wave of the ripest of apricots; rich with great generosity, gliding effortlessly between weight and delicacy. The perception of sweetness is only enhanced by hints of sourness. Soaring floral notes combined with juice laden flesh bring a full sensory spectrum, slight hints of almond providing those grounding notes. An aroma that almost brings the sensation of sun on your skin.
Remarkably textured across the palate, an initial density bursts outwards in a floral explosion of sweet and sour apricot flesh. Mouth watering, floral spice and occasional hints of almond provide real structure and tension. Sensational in sensation; the textures of skin, juice and evocative of the paste like texture of meltingly ripe fruit."
