This methode ancestrale, spontaneously fermented cider is made from a population of seedling apples found around the village of Twelveheads. As with most of what we make, it's bone dry and tart but also has a whisper of smokiness, gravel and willowy dells. It's frisky, so serve well chilled.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 02/07/24. Almost clear golden blonde with a white cap that soon thins to a swirl. Nose is funk, hedgerow, apple core, straw, earthy, oak. Taste comprises orchard wood, tannins, vinous, apple skins, light funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Not bad if a little stuck in 3rd gear.

Sample, courtesy of Danlo. Thanks Danlo. Pours a relatively clear pale yellow, small ring of foam that persists. Wild nuances on the nose. Flavour profile has a deep wild character, hints of gooseberry with juicy green apple, tart moments with a gentle acidity. Decent.
