This elegant cider presents a vibrant marriage of fresh orchard fruit and vinous complexity. Aromas of tart McIntosh and crisp Empire apples lead the profile, underpinned by the rustic, earthy notes of grape marc. On the palate, the bright acidity of the Spartan apple base is balanced by the delicate, drying tannins of the grape skins, creating a sophisticated profile reminiscent of a sparkling rosé. The natural effervescence provides a lively, dancing mouthfeel that lifts the floral and red fruit nuances toward a crisp, bone-dry finish. It is a harmonious expression of terroir and traditional fermentation.
Appearance.Pours a delicate rose-petal pink with a slight haze from the natural effervescence. The head is white and effervescent, dissipating quickly into a fine rim of bubbles with no lacing.
Aroma.High intensity of fresh, zesty apple—specifically the bright, acidic punch of McIntosh. Secondary notes of grape skin, crushed berries, and a faint floral yeast character. Clean fermentation with no sulfur or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial tartness driven by malic acid from the apple blend. The mid-palate features the dry, slightly spicy character of grape pomace. Very low sweetness, finishing bone-dry and clean. Notes of Spartan apple's crispness linger with a subtle vinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light to medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation level that enhances the perceived acidity. A touch of tannic astringency from the grape skins adds structure. No alcohol warmth.
