Wilding Cider Babouche 2019
Wilding Cider’s Babouche 2019 is a sophisticated English Cider that showcases a meticulous blend of Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, Grenadier, and Browns Apple. The wild yeast fermentation and nine months of bottle aging yield a complex profile defined by rustic leather, warm spices, and the vibrant scent of fresh orange flesh. Despite its bone-dry finish, the palate remains remarkably soft, anchored by well-integrated, rounded tannins and the bright acidity of the orchard fruit. This traditional-method cider, disgorged to ensure clarity, balances structured phenolic depth with a delicate, fruit-forward elegance and a clean, lingering finish that highlights its unadulterated character.
Appearance. Brilliant, clear gold to deep amber; pours with a lively, fine-beaded mousse that recedes to a thin, persistent ring of white foam; exceptional clarity due to disgorgement.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruit; distinct notes of orange flesh and bruised apple are layered over rustic wild yeast characters including leather, clove-like spice, and a faint earthy musk.
Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and crisp; rich bittersweet apple flavors from Dabinett and Chisel Jersey provide depth, while Grenadier and Browns Apple contribute a balancing, sharp acidity. The mid-palate features soft, rounded tannins and savory leather notes, finishing very clean with a lingering spicy, phenolic aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy, high carbonation providing a sparkling, champagne-like texture; moderate astringency from well-managed tannins; light alcohol warmth.
