This Galician Spanish Cider captures a rustic, refreshing essence through the use of 100% local Galician apples and a four-month spontaneous fermentation. The visual profile is striking, showing a brilliant ochre-orange with unique salmon highlights. Aromatically, it balances the scent of freshly sliced apples with a distinctive wild funk and subtle tannic undertones derived from its peculiar apple variety. On the palate, it delivers a frank, dry experience where bright fruit acidity meets a light phenolic bitterness. The wild fermentation lends a complex, earthy depth, resulting in an original, thirst-quenching character that honors ancient Celtic traditions with a clean, light finish.
