Description
Everything started in 1925 with our first cider mill. We opened in Lavandera, a small, countryside town just a few kilometers from Gijon. This is where it all began.

Nowadays, Lavandera is still home to the headquarters of Casa Trabanco cider house and where we work every day. It also serves as a meeting point for the many visitors and friends we welcome through our cider-tourism project.

Cobweb, musty basement, apple, and pear aroma. Earthy soil notes as well. Clear yellow, no visible carbonation. Tart, abundant funk and mustiness. Persimmon and apple. Carbonation is soft. Not in the least medicinal, nor does it seem infected. Finishes with a meaty smokiness, reminiscent of bacon. Lovely transitions and wild character. One of the best ciders I’ve had the pleasure of drinking.

Bottle from Corte Ingles. Cloudy green golden. Mild, light yeast and a hint barn with a lactic tinge. Chewy. Pleasant enough.

Bottle. Clear pale orange, white mousse vanishes immediately. Apples, slight sulfur, a little tangy. Looks like it’s going to be quite fizzy, but no. Pretty sweet with cooked apples and a little sharpness. The sweetness departs rapidly and there is wood, some tart apple and light spice left at the end. A little on the sweet side for me but plenty going on.

Bottle, at RBNAG-11. An almost clear one, pale golden in color, and without carbonation. Lots of apples in the aroma, some apple cores too. Funky and lighlty lemony. Sourish flavor with apples and some notes of orchard. Medium body, quite dry. A pleasant and rustic cider probably deserving some food to really shine. 111015

Sampled @ Tinto Fino during NYC Cider Week. Very pale with good clarity. Flowery, soft apples, powdered nose. Tastes caramelized. Hard water, bitter & green, but not harsh. Good amount of carbonation. Seemed a bit watery though. A few bucks more then the Trablanco Cosecha, which I enjoyed much more.

Corked 750 from Harry & Davids in Medford, OR. Pours hazy gold with a few bubbles. Aroma is sweet/tart with ripe/cooked apple. It is extremely tart. After the tart there is strong mixed apple skins. If this were a beer, I think we could call it sour/wild. Pretty good drink.

700 ml bottle @ RBNAG-11. Pale, slightly hazy golden body almost without any head. Mild aroma of apple, feels quite pure in the nose. Rather straight forward mild apple flavor, some fruity acidity. Medium body. Hint of apple core in the aftertaste. Refreshing and nothing special.
