This Specialty Cider offers a sophisticated fusion of crisp orchard fruit and elegant vinous depth. Matured for two months in oak barrels previously containing late-harvest Bacchus and Scheurebe, the profile is defined by an aromatic bouquet of elderflower, lychee, and lime zest. The underlying apple character remains bright and fresh, while the wood contact introduces structured tannins and a nuanced dry finish. The influence of the wine-soaked oak adds layers of honey and white grape skin, creating a complex, well-balanced beverage that bridges the gap between traditional cidermaking and fine German winemaking.
