Barmann Cellars Big Bertha
Cider - Fruit Cider 6.6 º
Big Bertha is a sophisticated, bone-dry specialty cider that bridges the gap between traditional orcharding and cool-climate winemaking. Spontaneous cofermentation with cider apples creates a rustic foundation of sharp acidity and earthy funk, while a four-month elevage on Syrah lees imparts a vinous complexity and a delicate rose-copper hue. The sensory profile is defined by tart apple skin, subtle notes of plum and dark berry from the grape influence, and a structural tannic grip. Its wild fermentation origin is evident in a nuanced, savory depth that lingers through a clean, exceptionally dry finish, making for a multi-layered and refreshing experience.
Appearance. Pale copper to light ruby with rose-colored highlights; very low head retention with minimal lacing; slight haze indicative of the four-month lees aging and unfiltered nature.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring tart green apple, earthy wild yeast phenolics, and a distinct vinous character; subtle dark fruit notes of plum and blackberry emerge from the Syrah lees influence.
Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and tart; rich apple flavors are balanced by rustic tannins and a savory, earthy complexity from spontaneous fermentation; subtle grape-skin notes provide depth without sweetness; finish is long, dry, and clean.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a light creaminess derived from the elevage on lees; moderate carbonation provides a crisp bite; noticeable tannic astringency adds structure; very subtle alcohol warmth.
