Temple Cider Kingston Black 2021
This single-variety cider showcases the prestigious Kingston Black apple in its purest form, delivering a profound sensory experience defined by its traditional English heritage. The profile is remarkably complex, leading with a rustic, deep pomme character and earthy undertones typical of Dorset-grown fruit. Without the masking effect of carbonation or added sweeteners, the 2021 vintage reveals an assertive bittersharp structure, balancing sharp acidity with a firm, drying tannic grip. At 7.8% ABV, the cider possesses a substantial presence, offering a clean, lingering finish that highlights the natural sophistication of unfiltered, full-juice fermentation.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (SRM 6-9). This is a still cider with no head or carbonation. Appearance is hazy and unfiltered, reflecting its natural, minimally processed character.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex, spicy apple character. Notes of dried fruit, earthy orchard floor, and a distinct leather-like phenolic quality. Clean fermentation despite being unfiltered, with no sulfur-derived flaws, emphasizing the pure aromatic profile of the Kingston Black apple.
Taste. Initial impression is bone dry and powerfully structured. Rich, concentrated apple flavors are dominated by the Kingston Black's natural acidity and significant tannin. Mid-palate reveals earthy, spicy notes with a hint of orange peel. Bitterness is firm and phenolic, derived from the apple skins rather than hops. The finish is exceptionally dry, long, and clean, with no residual sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable weight on the palate. Completely still (no carbonation). Noticeable alcohol warmth provides a pleasant, internal heat. High astringency from the natural tannins creates a puckering, tongue-coating sensation that persists long after the sip.
