Diggers Fine Cider Ltd Sparkling
This sparkling cider showcases the rustic charm of Scottish apples through spontaneous fermentation and six months of aging in wooden casks and stainless steel. The sensory profile is defined by a gentle bottle-conditioned effervescence that lifts complex, earthy aromas of leathery funk and damp oak. On the palate, a sharp malic acidity from the 100% Scottish apples is balanced by a structured, tannic backbone derived from the wood. Expect a bone-dry, vinous character with nuances of bruised orchard fruit and a lingering, astringent finish that emphasizes the traditional, minimalist approach used in its crafting.
Appearance. Medium gold to deep amber with a slight, persistent haze from being unfiltered; a fine, delicate bead of carbonation creates a thin, fleeting white head with minimal lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity; complex and rustic with significant earthy funk, spicy phenols, and a hint of leather from spontaneous fermentation. Bright apple skin and dried pomme fruit notes are complemented by a subtle, woody vanilla character.
Taste. Initial impression is tart and bone-dry. Strong flavors of tart heritage apples and skins are met with moderate wood-derived tannins. The wild fermentation adds a savory depth and light acetic zing. No residual sugar is perceived, leading to a clean, highly attenuated finish with a lingering apple-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, creamy carbonation from bottle conditioning. Noticeable astringency provides a drying, puckering sensation. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.

The age old question, which is better, Still or Sparkling? To contribute to this long running debate, we have taken the same blend of unfiltered ciders, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel and wooden casks – and created a pair. One perfectly still, the other utilising bottle conditioning to create a gentle sparkle. Both ciders were bottled on the same day and then aged for a further six months. Enjoy chilled. 750ml. 6%.
