Cork & cage from their very solid cider club. Stemless wine glass in my makeshift office @home. Clear, medium, oily, active gold. Quick-hitting, bleached soda head. An estate wine with more of a potluck feel. Definite honey, cooked apple, savory smoke, butter, mellow pie spice. Round & honeyed upfront, it branches out with the big acidity South Hill is known for, sharp & stab-y. Middle is some slight savoriness, some butter, but more so the English earthiness they have introduced more & more. Soda bread. Salt. Mellow yeasty finish. Cheese? Hidden acid all around. Cutting crispness. Dusty feel. Low tart, high acid. Big for just 7.6%. Complex but very sloshable. Great.
