Walking through an exotic landscape where orange blossom and potpourri rain down over lilies, we were refreshed by a glass of banana beer, while watching the cooper toasting an oak cask. No banana beer on the palate – instead we found assorted chalky sweets, dried heather flowers, custard creams and jam donuts – just a hint of oaky tannins on the finish. With water, our magical landscape shifted to one of damp earth and watermelons below and coconuts, nectarines and peaches above. The palate was now a complex blend of orange oil, strawberry sherbets, chocolate shavings and chamomile tea. A complexity worth unravelling.
