Bizio Pako
Cider - Fruit Cider 5.2 º
Bizio Pako presents a vibrant fusion of traditional Basque Sagardoa and wild blackberries. This Cider with Other Fruit leads with an assertive, earthy tartness characteristic of spontaneous fermentation, layered with the deep, vinous quality of masusta. The aroma is dominated by sharp lactic acidity, funky apple skins, and brambly berry notes. On the palate, it is aggressively dry and crisp, showcasing the interplay between the tannic blackberry skins and the bright, acetic zing of the base cider. It concludes with a clean, puckering finish that emphasizes the raw, rustic nature of its artisanal ingredients, resulting in a complex and refreshing fruit-driven profile.
Appearance. Deep magenta to dark violet color (SRM 25+ from fruit). Unfiltered with a slight haze. Minimal to no head formation, characteristic of the still Basque cider style; very fine, short-lived bubbles may appear if poured from a height.
Aroma. High intensity of sharp, acidic notes including lemon zest and light acetic tang. Distinctive earthy funk from wild yeast blends with deep, jammy blackberry fruit and the rustic scent of fermented apple skins. No hop character or malt aroma is present.
Taste. Initial impression is sharp and bracingly acidic. Dominant flavors of tart blackberry and green apple skins. Bone dry with zero residual sweetness. Noticeable tannic structure from the berry skins provides a wine-like complexity. The finish is short and incredibly clean, with a lingering, puckering lactic tartness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a structured texture due to tannins. Very low to still carbonation. No noticeable alcohol warmth at 5.2% ABV. Moderate astringency from the berry seeds and skins, enhancing the dry sensation.
