Halfpenny Green Sovereign
Halfpenny Green Sovereign is an elegant sparkling cider crafted via the Charmat method, mirroring the refined effervescence of Prosecco. This Cidre Charmat pours a brilliant, pale straw with a persistent bead of fine bubbles. On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of fresh-pressed green apples and subtle floral blossoms, underpinned by a delicate, creamy nuance derived from extended contact with the lees. The palate is crisp and refreshing, featuring bright apple acidity balanced by a faint bready complexity from the spent yeast. At 8% ABV, it provides a gentle warmth that complements its dry, lively finish, making for a sophisticated and clean sensory experience.
Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a pale straw color. Features a vigorous, persistent effervescence with fine bubbles that form a fleeting white mousse.
Aroma. High intensity of clean, fresh apple fruit. Distinctive green apple and pear notes are complemented by a subtle, creamy autolytic character from the spent yeast. Very clean fermentation profile with no phenolic or acetic notes.
Taste. Initial impression is bright and lively. Dominant flavors of crisp dessert apples and a hint of citrus zest. The balance is firmly on the dry side with high acidity. Finishes very clean and quick with a lingering apple-skin snap.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation level typical of the tank method. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Smooth texture with no astringency.
