Bottle pour at Barmann Cellars, pours a hazy peachy dull pink with a small white head. Aroma has lots of dry musty apple skins, a touch of red grape, and champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is dry and vinous, with a nice dry grape skin character, musty apple skins, and champagne-like effervescence. A bit muddled but I really like the marriage of the grapes and apples. Very good.

Clear 750 from Press then Press' online bottle club. Always a fan of grapes in my cider & this brand had already proved not to be a complete fuck up. Mojito glass at home. Cakey bottom but still a bit hazy despite weeks n the fridge. A pale plum/watermelon sort of color, popping the cap agitated something & it got yeasty & dark really fast. Quick hitting, bleached soda head. Still active. Sweet, fruit punch-like nose. Apple pineapple-cherry-orange-grape mellow cocktail scent. Yeasty, bittersweet apples, nicely astringent, with a mild, blended, cherry-grape background. Yeasty, minerally, slightly sulfite-y, uneven but consistent carbonation. Medium but low-key acid, tartness much less so. Second push of astringency is good for me. Overall flavor is a bit murky & punchbowl. Always prefer a sharper bite. Solid drinkability when cold, it starts to fall apart into individual pieces near the bottom like a watery cocktail. Good though.
