Made from a single-barrel selection of a traditional, classic Sagardoa which is then blended with macerated local cherries. The result is quite nice, with only the slightest hints of the cherry addition - it drinks more familiar to a classic Basque cider than any fruited cider. The cherry adds a freshness to the cider as well as a bit more body than typical of Basque Country ciders.

Still (uncarbonated). Aromatics of green apple and soft cherry. Dry cider with plus acidity and low tannins. A mild sourness (VA) with fresh green apple notes, light barrel, a nice mouthfeel, and a very mild linger of cherry on the finish. Light drinking and refreshing.

Sour apple skin and some lemon. Slightly hazy golden pour. Light tart finish. Nice vibe here. Bottle.

750ml bottle a lightly hazy peachy gold. Nose has stone fruits, white cherry and nectarines, apples but more ok the sweet side than green tart. Flavor leads with apples, light berries, some cherry pits. A little funk lurking. Just off dry, medium bodied.
