Westons Cider

This refined English Cider presents a sophisticated profile rooted in Westons' heritage. Pouring a dark straw to amber hue, it delivers a robust sensory experience driven by 100% fresh-pressed apple juice. The palate is defined by a deep, oaky character that introduces layers of smoke and subtle notes of leather, indicative of traditional maturation. This full-bodied sparkling cider balances its rich fruit intensity with a complex, tannic structure that provides a dry, lingering finish. The interaction between the natural sugars and earthy phenolic undertones creates a structured, authentic cider experience that highlights the craft credentials of the blend.

Appearance. Dark straw to deep amber in color. Brilliant clarity with vigorous carbonation creating a sparkling appearance. A thin, white effervescent ring of bubbles forms briefly before dissipating.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring rich, ripe apple fruitiness with a hint of cooked apple character. Pronounced earthy and phenolic notes of smoky oak and subtle leather. Clean fermentation with no significant sulfur or acetic acid.

Taste. Initial impression is of bold, bittersweet apples. The mid-palate reveals complex wood-derived flavors of smoke and dry oak, accompanied by a touch of savory leather. Bitterness is moderate, derived primarily from apple tannins. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering, astringent apple skin character.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied with a slight viscosity. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively, sparkling sensation. Noticeable tannic astringency that dries the mouth without being harsh. Minimal alcohol warmth.
