Imagine chopped mixed fresh fruits, like apples, pears, bananas and pineapple all stewed in orange-flavoured sugar syrup and then set on fire with a brandy flame creating a fresh fruit flambé served with a topping of whipped cream. On the palate still plenty of fire ‘warming the cockles of our hearts’ with tropical fruits, spicy seasoned oak and a hint of ash – fascinating! Water and the floral fruitiness of orange and cherry blossom, as well as blooming magnolia trees, created an exotic perfumed scent which was followed by fruit scones with strawberry jam and a gingery sponge cake – ‘putting a spring in our step!’
