Rebel Apple

This modern Rose cider presents a sophisticated interplay between rustic orchard fruit and vibrant summer berries. Influenced by red winemaking techniques, it showcases a complex maceration of raspberry, cherry, and black currant skins, which impart a brilliant garnet hue and structured tannins. The aroma leads with high-toned red fruit and a distinctive bruised apple character, typical of its spontaneous fermentation. On the palate, the tartness of black currant balances the mellow sweetness of weathered fruit, finishing crisp and sparkling. It is an elegant expression of craftsmanship, bridging the gap between traditional cidermaking and fine wine.

Appearance. Deep pink to light garnet with brilliant clarity. Pours with a fast-fading white head; fine, persistent bubbles create an effervescent, sparkling appearance.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent notes of fresh raspberry and tart black currant are layered over a base of earthy, bruised apple. A subtle, rustic funk from spontaneous fermentation adds complexity, reminiscent of damp soil or aged skins. No noticeable sulfur or diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and berry-forward. Flavors of tart cherry and black currant dominate the mid-palate, supported by a rich, savory bruised apple foundation. High acidity is well-integrated. Bitterness is low, but a noticeable tannic grip from the fruit skins provides structure. The finish is dry and sparkling, with a lingering hint of dark berry skin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a prickly, refreshing sensation. Very low alcohol warmth at 6%. A slight, pleasant astringency from the berry skins adds a wine-like texture without being harsh.
