Wilding Cider Stoke Red #2 (2020)

This elegant English Cider showcases the Stoke Red apple from a heritage orchard in Ditcheat, yielding a profile where vibrant acidity and structured tannins find a harmonious equilibrium. The terroir-driven character presents an aromatic bouquet of spicy orchard fruit and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, the delicate sweetness is perfectly countered by the apple's natural sharp-bitter profile, leading to a complex and refreshing finish. Its low alcohol content emphasizes the purity of the fruit, making it an ideal companion for savory pairings like cured meats or smoked fish. This single-variety expression captures the essence of the 2020 vintage.
Appearance. Color is deep gold to pale amber. Clarity is brilliant. Effervescence is moderate, forming a thin, white, fast-fading head with minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity of fresh and stewed apple. Secondary notes include spicy skin-like phenolics and light floral esters. Clean fermentation character with no sulfur or off-flavors.
Taste. Initial impression of ripe orchard fruit with a delicate sweetness. Mid-palate presents a sharp, bright acidity and a moderate, structural tannin bitterness. The balance is slightly sweet but tempered by fruit acids. The finish is lingering and clean with a spicy apple aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture balanced by lively, moderate carbonation. No alcohol warmth is perceived at this ABV. A noticeable but pleasant tannin-driven astringency coats the mouth.

This is the second single orchard Stoke Red Wilding made in 2020; from a beautiful old orchard in Ditcheat, with trees of similar age to the Abbot's Leigh orchard, that their first came from. They were picked in the same week as the Abbot's Leigh fruit, & pressed on the same day, then fermented in the same way, & racking on the same day each time (Rural Method) before bottling on the same day in the summer.

 

The result is intriguingly different, considering the main difference is only the orchard the fruit came from, not the manner of making! This one is lighter in colour, with less of the typical rose/strawberry aroma of the Stoke Red apple. Instead it has a more savoury, structured character with the same tension in balance of tannin, acid & sugar. Very classy & better with savoury food than sweet.  Alc. 3.7%. £48.00 GBP £92.00 GBP Add to Order

Free Shipping on all orders over £70. Free shipping on any size order for delivery to East or North East London & much of Manchester, Bristol & Brighton (see shipping page for list of postcodes).
