Virtue Cider Salut!
Salut! is a sophisticated and celebratory Specialty Cider that bridges the gap between traditional orchard fruit and refined vinous character. Crafted as a crisp, bone-dry tribute to the international cider community, it showcases a bright, clean apple base elevated by a measured maturation on French oak. This wood influence imparts delicate nuances of toasted vanilla and soft spice, providing a structural counterpoint to the natural acidity of the fruit. Highly effervescent and remarkably refreshing, the cider offers a lively sparkle that lifts the bouquet of fresh-pressed apples, finishing with an elegant, lingering tannic grip derived from the oak.
Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a pale straw to light gold color. Highly effervescent with rapid, tiny bubbles rising constantly. No significant head retention, though a brief white mousse may form upon pouring.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh culinary apples and slight floral apple blossom. Subtle but distinct secondary notes of French oak contribute hints of vanilla, light toast, and a touch of wood-spice. Very clean fermentation with no esters or phenolics beyond the wood-derived spice.
Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and crisp. Dominant flavors of tart, fresh-pressed apples are balanced by a firm acidity. The French oak maturation provides a subtle mid-palate complexity of dry wood and faint spice. No residual sweetness is present. The finish is short, clean, and dry with a mild, pleasant tannic astringency.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that creates a sparkling, effervescent sensation. Very low alcohol warmth. A light, drying tannic structure provides a sophisticated, wine-like texture on the tongue.
