Dalia is an aperitivo-like cider with big mint and cherry notes.
Made with white + red grapes, plums, cherries and apples, it's a lot of ingredients, blended with a deft touch. A kiss of rose petals and organic nepitella (a plant related to mint) both stimulate your appetite.
What's it like? Mint and cherries steal the show here, with the rest of the fruit lifting them with layers of body, texture and fruit aromas. You have blueberry notes from Maréchal Foch, width from Gewürtztraminer and acid from the plums.
Even with all these ingredients, Dalia is an uncomplicated crusher. Serve it before a meal, or to friends as soon as they walk in the door.

750ml @ Ryan's shared with Alex, Phill, and Josh, trying to figure out the Okanagan trip because weather is preventing us from Golden Ears camping 😬.
Aroma: fruity, some farmhouse and herbal notes.
Taste: along the same lines, very fruity and acidic.
Overall: too much acid here.

Purplish colour. Tannic, bitter apple and also some plum. On the palate, also a bit tannic, some buttery type of notes from one of the fruits in here. The plum comes across well, though. A bit of bright apple notes in the finish.the added fruits are nice but I’m not sure it’s coherent.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Brown-ish red with small off white head. Cherry pits, feint plum character, underlying apple, not picking up the mint aspect, okay.
