Argelette, named after the stony schist found locally, is a complex blend and made from the maximum amount of varieties, from the oldest trees that particular year has to offer.
A vinous sydre which keeps well thanks to its balance between matter, acidity, roundness and minerality. (5% depending on the vintage).

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle corked and capped, 2014 bottle poured into a glass. Hazy deep golden with small white head. Aroma is light Apple & wood, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and some lacing. Taste is lighter apple, a little wood, and pretty dry. May of been sweeter and better for my tastes fresh.

Thanks to Kraddel! 75 cl. bottle split with Kraddel during the (Ice) Cider/Perry tasting @ Barely Legal Tasting Room. 2012 Vintage. Gorgeous looking bottle. Clear sparkling Champagne-like golden, thin white layer of bubbles only on top for head. Bubbles rising. Nose is sweeter than expected, apple sweetness, golden apples, faint rustic note, hay mixed in with tad of something reminiscent of sulphur for me. Taste is dry, tad boozy, surprisingly so for the ABV, light hay, barn, less sweet in taste than in nose, finish again sulphur-like note for me. Body is Cava-like in feel. Quite dry, pretty nice & enjoyable but doesn’t really justify the price-tag I feel, expected a bit more from this one. Nice all the same still.

Bottle bought through Riktig Cider. Pours golden with a fizzy white head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity with varied smashed apples, starfruit, dried pineapple, moist hay, soil, leather, barnyard and lemon zest. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny sour and fruity with smashed apples, hay, dry soil, paper, unripe starfruit and hints of wood. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, astringent and light bodied. Finish is fruity with apple must, hay, dry soil, unripe starfruit, paper and lemon zest. Bit too astringent and papery in the flavour.

2008 Bottle. Sweet apple nose, lightly spicy. Deep, dark golden, lace. Medium sweet, lots of apples, cinnamon, caramel. Soft carbonation. Quite nice, though not as complex and delicious as their poires. Still, good stuff.
