Nevel

This wild-fermented Specialty Cider showcases the complexity of Nevel’s house culture, blending orchard-fresh apples and pears with an assertive infusion of blackcurrants. The sensory profile is dominated by the earthy, tart character of cassis, supported by juicy pear notes and a rustic, wild funk. On the palate, the cider is bracingly dry and acidic, highlighting the tannic depth of the blackcurrants alongside a crisp apple structure. It is a vibrant, deeply flavored fruit cider that balances forest fruit intensity with the refined, farmhouse character of spontaneous fermentation, finishing with a clean, lingering berry tartness and sophisticated tannic grip.

Appearance. Deep ruby to vibrant magenta color with moderate clarity. Pours with a thin, effervescent pinkish-white head that dissipates rapidly. Fine, lively carbonation is visible.

Aroma. High intensity aroma; pungent blackcurrant provides a sharp, berry-forward lead. Underlying notes of ripe pear and bruised apple are layered with a distinct wild funk—earthy, leathery, and slightly phenolic—characteristic of a wild house culture.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and bone dry. Intense blackcurrant flavors dominate, bringing significant skin tannins and bright, tart fruitiness. The mid-palate reveals soft pear and crisp apple skins, followed by a rustic, farmhouse fermentation character. The finish is long and puckeringly dry with a lingering earthy berry aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. High carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. Notable tannin-driven astringency from the fruit skins, with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
