Aroma
wine-like citrus to deep tropicalbright grapepink grapefruitmangosauvignon blancguavalight cannabiswhite wine
Distinct wine-y aromas, with bright grape, gooseberry and complex fruit aromas and rich background dankness. Earlier/mid harvest Nelson has much more of a white wine-y character and citrus brightness; later harvest has more tropical intensity (passion fruit, nectarine, pink grapefruit) with background notes of complex cannabis.
