Apricot

Flavor Profile

Flavorah Apricot delivers an authentic stone fruit experience with sweet, sun-ripened character and delicate floral undertones. The aroma presents juicy apricot flesh with hints of honey and subtle peachy warmth.

Opening notes reveal bright, sweet apricot with natural fruit sugars and gentle tartness. The body develops into lush stone fruit depth with velvety mouthfeel and sophisticated complexity. The finish is clean and fruity, leaving pleasant apricot sweetness that evokes summer orchards.
