Pellicle Vergistingen Intertwined: Chenin Blanc
This Specialty Cider/Perry presents a sophisticated tapestry of orchard and vineyard. The influence of Chenin Blanc grapes introduces layers of quince, honeysuckle, and vibrant white wine acidity, seamlessly integrated with the rustic, honeyed depths of barrel-aged cider. The wood maturation adds a structural dryness and a whisper of vanilla, while the wild fermentation character provides an earthy, complex undertone. It strikes a masterful balance between the crisp, tannic snap of heritage apples and the lush, stone-fruit elegance of the grapes, resulting in a refined, wine-like profile that lingers with a clean, tart finish.
Appearance. Pale gold to light amber with brilliant clarity. Still to very low carbonation with no lasting head or lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Bright aromas of green apple and pear are layered with the floral and honeyed notes of Chenin Blanc. Subtle barrel-derived oak, vanilla, and a faint, earthy funk from the wild fermentation.
Taste. Initial tartness of fresh apple skins followed by the complex acidity of white grapes. Distinct flavors of apricot and lemon zest. Moderate oak tannins provide structure. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering vinous character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slick, wine-like texture. Very low carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Lightly puckering acidity but no harsh astringency.
