Waterford Organic Cuvee Gaia

Colour: Polished brass syrupy-thick oils.

Nose: Lovely depth of heather honey, rich malted barley, dark berries, and the earthiness of pine forest floor after rain. Old leather furniture, hessian, and dark spices of nutmeg. All given fruit and juiciness by blackberry compôte.

Palate: Unctuous, almost chewy texture with golden syrup-drizzled sponge cake, manuka honey and very decadent flapjacks. Ripe summer berry fruits – almost jams.

Finish: Near-endless, fruits and honeys entwining with the rich savoury tones of malt.
