Rebel Root Lost Cider
This wild-fermented English Cider offers a complex sensory journey shaped by long maturation and a diverse apple blend. The profile is defined by rustic native yeast characteristics—earthy barnyard and subtle spice—intertwined with the sharp malic brightness of Bramley and the delicate floral perfume of Spartan apples. On the palate, the cider is bone dry, showcasing the structural integrity of Dabinett tannins. The extended aging since 2016 has mellowed the acidity, resulting in a sophisticated landscape of dried orchard fruit and weathered leather. Unfiltered and raw, it presents a deep, textural experience that honors its low-intervention heritage.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber with a natural, slight haze reflecting its unfiltered nature; minimal head retention and very light lacing, typical of traditional still or petillant ciders.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent wild yeast funk including earthy, leathery, and slightly spicy phenols; sharp apple character from culinary fruit provides a crisp counterpoint to the ripe, bittersweet woodiness and dried-fruit esters.
Taste. Initial sharp malic acidity gives way to a complex, bone-dry profile; firm, astringent tannins provide significant structure; fermentation character is rustic with notes of hay and dried apple skin; finish is long, remarkably dry, and clean with a lingering tannic grip.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable tannic astringency that adds perceived weight; low carbonation creates a still, wine-like texture; moderate alcohol presence provides a light, integrated warmth.
