Aus der Flasche 2023-10 im Muted Horn getrunken. Dieser klar messingfarbende Cider-Wine-Hybrid aus Sherry-Apfelwein und hellem Sauvignon Blanc hat eine Ester-Aroma, die über alles steht und ich als Fehlnote bezeichnen würde. Später wenn der Cider wärmer wird zeigen sich hinter dem Esteraroma auch Apfelaromen. Aber nein das Cider ist nicht meins!

(750ml bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours clear deep gold with a tiny fizzing of bubbles, effectively still. Aroma is truly like apple sherry, there's a hint of candied pale cherries, lots of white wine with notes of kiwi/lychee and citrus, balanced oak, apple skins, a certain saline minerality. Flavour is definitely dry sherry, round and oak-laden, super-vinous crisp white wine and surprisingly bright apple, touches of tropical florals like lychee join the gooseberry from the Sauv Blanc and a hint of citrus, nice salinity, smooth tannins from the fruit skins, touches of acidity towards the finish and into the aftertaste which has a nice lemony herbal touch (the lemon verbena that wasn't on the label...) that mixes with tannin for a very gentle bitterness. Slight alcohol warmth. Medium-plus body, quite oily, still. Fascinating beverage, complex and completely unexpected presentation of cider (with wine). The sherry-type notes are well-accented by the apple characteristics and tannins, the Sauv Blanc is young and brightly expressive, and the salinity brings things into balance. Beautiful.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a tiny white head. Nose is unusual, with plenty of apple sherry, plenty of white wine, a little oak, and crisp apple skins. Flavour is a pretty impressive blend of cider, sherry and white wine; there's crisp white wine tannins, crisp apple skins, and a little sherry. Vinous, gently acidic very funky on the finish, with the ABV showing itself. Very nice.
