Elegast Cidery

This organic Heritage Cider expresses a sophisticated sensory profile, achieved through the traditional champagne method and patient spontaneous fermentation. The aroma is dominated by deep, ripe apple notes with a nuanced wild yeast character, offering hints of earthiness and subtle floral esters. On the palate, it delivers a complex interplay of rich apple fruit, sharp acidity, and a delicate tannic structure derived from heritage orchard fruit. The high carbonation from the secondary fermentation in the bottle provides a festive, mousse-like texture that cleanses the palate, leading into a crisp, dry finish with lingering notes of sun-ripened fruit and a gentle warmth.

Appearance. Medium gold (SRM 6); brilliant clarity with a persistent, fine-beaded white head and elegant, lingering lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; forward ripe apple fruitiness with complex spontaneous fermentation notes including light spice, faint earth, and a clean, floral ester profile; no sulfur or diacetyl present.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, vinous apple; balanced acidity and light-to-moderate tannins provide structure; dry finish with no cloying sweetness; lingering apple skin and a hint of rustic complexity from the wild fermentation.

Mouthfeel. Medium body; high carbonation providing a prickly, champagne-like effervescence; noticeable alcohol warmth; smooth with no harsh astringency.
