Drap Wijn Bacchannal presents a sophisticated fusion of traditional orchard fruit and viticultural complexity. This Specialty Cider is elevated by the inclusion of Riesling and Pinot Gris pomace, offering an aromatic bouquet of white florals, jasmine, and ripe apricot. The palate is defined by a crisp apple foundation layered with the signature high acidity of Riesling and the delicate pear and spice notes of Pinot Gris. A moderate tannic structure from the grape skins provides depth, leading to a bone-dry finish that highlights the elegant, wine-like interplay between the pomace and the base cider.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold with brilliant clarity. Minimal head retention, typical of high-ABV cider, with a brief, fine-beaded effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex profile of fresh culinary apples, floral honeysuckle, and stone fruits like peach and apricot. Subtile spicy phenolics and a hint of mineral wet stone from the grape pomace are present.

Taste. Initial tart apple impression followed by a wave of vinous complexity. Flavors of green pear and citrus zest from the Pinot Gris balance the bright, zesty acidity of the Riesling. No hop bitterness. The finish is bone-dry and clean with lingering notes of grape skin and tart fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate-high carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing sensation. Notable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated. Light tannic astringency from the pomace adds structure and a drying effect on the tongue.
