Bone Dry Still Fine Cider
A true vintage cider from this exceptional orchard and year. It's a 50:50 split of Ashton Bitter & Ellis Bitter, two full on bittersweet cider apples, fermented together in a large tawny port oak cask. Two years in bottle have seen this develop into an elegant but powerful cider full of tannins and complex aromatics, demanding good food.
Strong aromatically and in the mouth. Tobacco smoke, ripe cherries, apple peel, orchard floor, spice. High in tannins which are ripe and well matured. Alc. 7.2%
