Jaanihanso Sec Méthode Traditionnelle
This Estonian cider presents a sophisticated profile defined by fresh farm-pressed juice apples and the complexity of wild yeast fermentation. Gold-medal winning and crafted via the traditional method, it offers an elegant sensory journey starting with bright, crisp apple notes and a subtle, earthy wild yeast character. The six-month bottle aging lends a refined, champagne-like effervescence and a faint hint of lees. Balanced as a medium-dry Sec cider, it marries vibrant acidity with a clean, lingering finish, showcasing the terroir of Estonian orchards with a professional, sparkling structure. The wild yeast integration provides a rustic yet polished depth rarely found in modern ciders.
Appearance. Brilliant, pale gold to deep yellow color. Features a persistent, fine-beaded mousse with a delicate white head that dissipates into a thin ring; exceptional clarity due to the traditional method process.
Aroma. High intensity fresh, tart apple aroma with floral and citrus undertones. Distinctive wild yeast presence adds a complex earthy or leathery layer, complemented by very subtle bready or yeasty notes from the six-month secondary fermentation.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of clean apple and sharp acidity. Medium-dry balance with moderate fruit sweetness and no hop bitterness. The wild yeast provides a sophisticated mineral and slightly phenolic complexity. Finishes clean and crisp with a lingering apple skin tartness and a dry, refreshing aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body. High, sparkling carbonation provides a lively, tongue-tingling sensation. Low alcohol warmth. Very low astringency, appearing smooth and well-structured from the extended bottle conditioning.
