Vintage 2020. This pioneered hybrid blend of maple syrup evaporated apple juice and frozen cryo-concentrated apple juice is an estate exclusive. A perfectly balanced harmony of earth’s two extreme elements: fire and ice. Tasting notes of burnt orange, clove, licorice, apricot, and maple taffy. Rich smooth and invigorating. Serve chilled as an aperitif or digestif.

Brassy amber colour. Has a nice cryo-extractionated icy apple aroma. On the palate, the creme-brulee pyro-torched apple skins blend well with tannins. Intense, deep acidity, complex apple. Very good stuff.

375mL bottle, pours a clear caramel. Nose is decadent, with rich toffee, brown sugar, and rich stewed apples. Flavour is rich, complex, and balanced, revealing tons of rich toffee, brown sugar, just enough tart, acidic apples, and some butterscotch to finish. Balanced, complex, exquisite. Lovely.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Clear amber gold with no head. Nice treacle character, very feint hint of clove, quite nice.

375mL bottle. Pours a deep golden colour. Loads of concentrated apple sugars and some caramelised skins on the nose. Flavour has loads of caramelised apples, tart apple skins, nice level of butterscotch. A fantastic ice cider.
