Araeta Sidra Amalur
Cider - Applewine 5.5 º
Araeta Sidra Amalur is a robust Spanish Cider crafted from 100% indigenous apples and fermented in traditional wooden tanks. It presents a deep amber hue and a complex sensory profile defined by high-intensity aromas of ripe, stewed fruit and apple compote. The fermentation process in wood at elevated temperatures imparts a structural depth that bridges traditional rustic character with a refined, full-bodied intensity. On the palate, the cider is rich and concentrated, delivering a profound apple character that transitions into a distinctly bitter, tannic finish. This unsulfited expression emphasizes the raw, earthy character of the orchard while maintaining a sophisticated, lingering dryness.
Appearance. Deep amber to burnished copper in color. Typically hazy or cloudy due to lack of filtration. Very low head retention; a light, fleeting mousse may appear during a traditional high pour, but it settles quickly with no lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with a dominant character of ripe, cooked, and stewed apples. Secondary notes of wood and light tannins from the wooden tank fermentation are present, along with a subtle, clean earthy funk. Lacks the sulfurous notes often found in commercial examples due to the absence of added sulfites.
Taste. Intense and concentrated apple flavor, leaning toward baked fruit and dried apple skins. The initial impression is dry, followed by a broad, complex mid-palate influenced by wood contact. Bitterness is moderate to firm, driven by the tannins of the indigenous fruit, leading to a long and distinctly drying finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body, providing a significant weight on the palate. Carbonation is naturally low, often perceived as still or very lightly sparkling. Notable tannic astringency contributes to a structured mouthfeel, with low, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
