Cider - Applewine 8.2 º

Aspall Cyder

This Imperial Cider presents a sophisticated profile defined by its 8.2% strength and the addition of muscovado sugar. The sensory experience is anchored by a single year’s harvest of bittersweet apples, yielding a deep, concentrated fruit core. Expect a decadent candied fruit aroma intertwined with the dark, molasses-like complexity provided by the muscovado sugar. The palate is exceptionally full-bodied, balancing the robust tannins of the bittersweet apples against a rich, warming alcohol presence. It is a complex, vintage-led cider that emphasizes the interplay between traditional orchard character and deep, unrefined sugars for a luxurious, lingering finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to burnished copper-amber; brilliant clarity with a fine-textured, dissipating bead of white bubbles and visible legs due to the higher ABV.

Aroma. High intensity; rich baked apple and earthy leather from bittersweet fruit meet complex notes of molasses, toffee, and dark sugar. Decadent candied fruit esters are prominent, with a subtle, clean vinous alcohol note and no off-fermentation byproducts.

Taste. Initial impression is bold and sweet with a dark sugar depth, followed by an intense cooked apple flavor. Moderate apple tannin provides essential structure and a dry-leaning grip against the muscovado. The finish is long and warming, showing caramelized fruit and a lingering, clean apple skin character with balanced acidity.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous; moderate carbonation provides enough lift to prevent cloying. Notable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated, accompanied by a light, pleasant astringency from the apple tannins.
