Napton Cidery Major
This robust English Cider, centered on the heritage Major bittersweet apple, presents a sophisticated sensory profile defined by structural depth and rustic elegance. The experience begins with an aromatic bouquet of baked apple and earthy, wood-like tannins, underscored by a subtle, vinous acidity. On the palate, it delivers a bone-dry impression where assertive bittersweet apple flavors meet a firm, drying astringency typical of traditional West Country fruit. The finish is remarkably clean and long, leaving a lingering essence of orchard fruit and a refined, pithy bitterness that balances its 6% ABV.
Appearance. Deep gold to amber (SRM 6-10). Brilliant clarity with a still to very lightly sparkling presentation. Minimal white head that dissipates rapidly.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by ripe, phenolic apple notes and earthy bittersweet fruit. Subtle hints of spice, dried hay, and a faint vinous character. Clean fermentation without sulfur or acetic notes.
Taste. Initial dry impact with pronounced bittersweet apple flavor. Significant tannic astringency provides structure. Low to moderate acidity provides a crisp counterpoint to the rich fruit character. Bone-dry finish with a lingering, pleasant apple-skin bitterness and no residual sugar.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, significantly enhanced by the tannin structure. Low carbonation. A slight, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Notable astringency that leaves a drying sensation on the tongue.
