Cider - Other Specialty Cider/Perry 5.5 º

This artisanal cider reflects a masterful Somerset collaboration, blending a twelve-month barrel-aged 2021 vintage with fresh, naturally sweet keeved juice. The inclusion of the Brown's Apple variety is pivotal, providing a sharp, refreshing acidity that perfectly counters the rich, concentrated sugars of the keeving process. Its sensory profile is defined by a sophisticated interplay of ripe, bruised orchard fruit, soft oak tannins, and a nuanced earthy depth. The result is a medium-dry, gastronomic cider that balances rustic farmhouse tradition with a clean, elegant finish, showcasing both the vibrancy of the harvest and the refined complexity of extended wood aging.

Appearance. Deep gold to clear amber with brilliant clarity; pours with a fine, fast-fading white mousse and moderate carbonation that maintains a delicate rim of bubbles.

Aroma. High intensity of ripe and cooked apples, honeyed sweetness, and subtle floral notes; the barrel aging contributes faint vanilla and toasted oak, supported by a classic bittersweet apple phenolic character.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich, juicy apple sweetness followed immediately by the bright, cleansing acidity of Brown's Apple. The mid-palate features soft, well-integrated tannins and a hint of spice, leading to a balanced, medium-dry finish with a lingering apple-skin astringency and a clean, fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a pleasing weight from the residual keeved sugars; moderate carbonation provides a lively tingle, while the barrel-derived tannins offer a smooth, slightly mouth-coating texture without harshness.
