TryWild Reserve 2020 is a sophisticated, natural dry cider that epitomizes elegance through its extensive maturation. Following a three-day maceration on apple pulp, this vintage underwent twenty-four months of sur lie aging, followed by eighteen months of bottle conditioning. This patient process yields a deep sensory profile where the vibrant fruit of the 2020 harvest evolves into refined notes of baked apple, hazelnut, and brioche. The extended contact with the lees provides a creamy textural depth that balances the minimal acidity. Effervescent and structured, it concludes with a long, bone-dry finish characteristic of a meticulously crafted English Cider.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (SRM 6–9); brilliant clarity from extended aging; persistent, fine-beaded mousse with a delicate white ring of foam.

Aroma. High intensity; complex bouquet of dried apple peel, bruised yellow apple, and wild floral honey. Distinctive autolytic notes of toasted bread and almond from 24 months sur lie aging, with a very subtle, clean earthy funk.

Taste. Bone-dry initial impression; rich, mature apple flavor with layers of spice and cooked pear. Low acidity provides a smooth foundation for moderate tannin structure derived from pulp maceration. No sugar sweetness; the finish is exceptionally clean, long, and elegant with a lingering nutty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable creamy, round texture from the lees contact; high carbonation providing a sparkling, champagne-like prickle; low alcohol warmth; zero astringency despite the tannic structure.
