Dorset Nectar Wildcat
Dorset Nectar Wildcat is an evocative English Cider that pours a deep, dark amber with a brilliant clarity and a soft, fleeting collar of light effervescence. The aroma is a complex tapestry of rustic, wild yeast funk, damp earth, and rich, baked bittersweet apples. On the palate, a balanced medium sweetness of ripe apple flesh is immediately countered by a sharp, tannic bite, showcasing a traditional West Country character. A subtle farmhouse complexity lingers alongside a soft astringency, finishing balanced and refreshing with a gentle, lightly sparkling carbonation that lifts the deep fruit profile.
Appearance. Deep copper to dark amber color. Brilliant clarity with a very light, sparkling effervescence that produces a brief white head that quickly dissipates.
Aroma. Moderate to high aroma intensity. Rich, baked bittersweet apple notes are complemented by a distinct wild yeast complexity, showing hints of earthy soil, subtle spicy phenolics, and a rustic farmhouse character.
Taste. Begins with a medium-sweet impression of ripe apple juice, followed quickly by a sharp acidity and a firm, drying tannic bite. Complex rustic wild yeast flavors, woody notes, and apple skins persist into a semi-dry, balanced finish with lingering tartness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a lightly sparkling, low to moderate carbonation. Displays a noticeable tannic astringency that leaves a drying, grippy sensation on the palate. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
