Riestra Sidra Natural captures the rustic, wild essence of traditional Asturian cider. This unfiltered, bone-dry cider presents a vivid sensory landscape defined by sharp, acetic acidity and earthy funk. Expect a prominent tart green apple profile, underscored by subtle wood-like tannins and a distinctive wild yeast character. The lack of carbonation emphasizes its lean, crisp structure. This is an uncompromising Spanish Cider, focused on raw fruit expression and refreshing tartness, delivering a complex interplay between bright citrus-like acidity and deeply savory, farmyard undertones that linger on the palate long after the clean, dry finish.
