TryWild Cider 11 Aronia presents a striking fusion of wild fermentation and intense fruit structure. Building on a base of natural dry cider macerated for 11 days on apple skins, the addition of aronia wine imparts a deep, vinous complexity. The aroma leads with earthy chokeberry and rustic orchard floor notes, underscored by the tannic grip of macerated skins. On the palate, it is bracingly dry, showcasing the sharp acidity of wild yeast and the astringent, dark berry-forward character of fermented aronia. This cider balances its tart profile with a lingering, textured finish that highlights the structural depth of the maceration process.
Appearance.Deep rose to ruby-purple hue; slight natural haze consistent with unfiltered production; minimal carbonation with a thin, fast-fading collar of bubbles and no significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; sharp, tart apple skin and earthy, dark fruit notes of aronia (chokeberry); secondary notes of rustic wild fermentation, including hints of damp earth, leather, and vinous acidity.
Taste.Bone-dry initial impression; tart, acidic apple flavor quickly overtaken by the puckering, tannic character of aronia; skin-maceration provides a savory, rustic depth; no residual sweetness; finish is long, dry, and astringently fruity with a lingering berry-skin aftertaste.
