Smith Hayne Orchards Brown Snout 2021
This 2021 vintage pet nat French Cider showcases a traditional Normandy profile through the masterful use of 80% Brown Snout and 20% Browns apples. The 100% keeving process preserves a deep, natural sweetness that perfectly counters the firm bittersweet tannins inherent to these varieties. Aromas of baked orchard fruit and spicy, earthy farmhouse phenols rise from a lively, effervescent pour. On the palate, the cider is surprisingly viscous and mouth-filling, offering layers of cooked apple complexity and a touch of rustic character. The finish is long and sparkling, highlighting the elegant interplay between residual sugar and a refined tannic grip.
Appearance. Deep gold to rich amber (SRM 7–11) with brilliant clarity, though a light sediment-driven haze may be present. Displays a persistent, fine-beaded ivory head with moderate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity of bittersweet cider apples. Distinctive earthy and spicy phenols provide a rustic farmhouse character, accompanied by notes of overripe fruit, light caramel, and a subtle barnyard funk typical of traditional Normandy production.
Taste. Immediate impression of rich, natural apple sweetness. The flavor of cooked and bruised apples is dominant, supported by moderate-high tannins from the Brown Snout fruit. Very low acidity with no hop bitterness. The finish is lingering and sweet-rich with a clean, earthy apple aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable viscosity despite the low alcohol content. High, pétillant carbonation provides a lively, sparkling mouthfeel. A moderate tannic astringency provides structure to the sweetness. No alcohol warmth.
