Dorset Nectar Old Harry Rocks is a vibrant English Cider that captures a rich, appley essence grounded by a distinctive bittersweet character. The aroma is highly expressive, featuring intense notes of orchard fruit layered with delicate hints of oranges and peaches. On the palate, it delivers a clean, smooth experience where the natural sweetness of the fruit is balanced by a soft tannic structure. This organic cider concludes with a refreshing, slightly dry finish that highlights the purity of the apples. It is a well-structured example of the style, offering both depth and a bright, stone-fruit complexity.
