This 2021 harvest Specialty Cider/Perry captures the rustic essence of the Lent landscape, blending unsprayed Appel and Peer into a sophisticated, farm-to-glass experience. The nose is greeted by a delicate interplay of orchard fruit and a refined woody depth from the Eik maturation. On the palate, the natural sweetness of the pear is balanced by the tart acidity of traditional apples, all supported by a gentle tannic structure from the wood. A festive, natural carbonation lifts the body, leading to a clean, lingering finish that reflects its artisanal, low-intervention origins.
Appearance.Bright gold to light amber; brilliant clarity with a fine, fast-rising bead of festive bubbles. Pours with a thin white head that settles quickly into a persistent ring.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Fresh, ripe pear and crisp apple aromas dominate, complemented by subtle vanilla and toasted wood notes from the Eik maturation. Clean fermentation profile with a light, earthy orchard character.
Taste.Initial impression of juicy pear sweetness followed by tart apple acidity. Mid-palate reveals a structured woody complexity from the oak, providing light tannins. Finishes off-dry and clean with a lingering orchard fruit aftertaste. No hop bitterness; low tannic bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a brisk, high carbonation that prickles the tongue. Subtle tannic astringency from the wood and fruit skins. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
