Cider - Fruit Cider 4 º

Biddenden Vineyards

Biddies Berries is an elegant Cider with Other Fruit that captures the essence of the English countryside. This medium cider harmonizes a crisp apple base with the deep, vinous character of local blackberries and elderberries. The aroma is dominated by floral elderberry and jammy fruit, while the palate offers a vibrant interplay between natural sweetness and berry tartness. The addition of real fruits provides a nuanced complexity and a subtle tannic grip that elevates the refreshing 4% ABV profile. It is a brilliant, ruby-hued cider that prioritizes fresh fruit expression and a clean, refreshing finish over heavy fermentation funk.

Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a deep ruby to garnet hue. Effervescence is visible, though head retention is minimal, typically forming a light pink-tinted ring around the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Fresh, crisp apple notes are layered with the earthy, floral perfume of elderberries and the jammy, dark fruit sweetness of ripe blackberries.

Taste. Initial impression is a balanced medium sweetness. The tart acidity of the blackberries cuts through the apple juice base, while elderberries contribute a light tannic structure and floral complexity. The finish is clean and fruity, with a lingering semi-sweet berry aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation that provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. There is zero alcohol warmth given the low ABV. A very slight, pleasant drying sensation from the fruit tannins is present.
