Sparkling Dry Traditional Method Fine Cider 

A super-vibrant, wonderfully dry cider with a hint of quince on the nose, a mineral, sea spray and oyster shell-like freshness, and a gooseberry tart finish.

Originally destined to be blended as part of the 2021 Appellation vintage, that hint of quince appeared as we were taking a tank sample and meant we kept this to one side to allow the flavours to fully develop. As with each of our Champagne Method Fine Ciders, this is made from a field blend of apples from unsprayed traditional Devon orchards. Varieties are chosen for their bright, fresh acidity, alongside a handful of sweet Devon cider apples to smooth & round. These undergo a spontaneous primary fermentation before secondary fermentation with champagne yeast and a further two plus years maturation on the lees in the bottle before being hand riddled and disgorged. The perfect seafood accompaniment. Abv 8% alc.
