Tap at Cullach. Golden pour, no head. Nice ripe apple aroma. Flavor is sweeter than I expected for a “dry” cider but it’s pretty enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle direct from the winery. It pours clear oily gold some bubbles when poured. The aroma is warming spice, tart, tangy, crunchy apple, apple crumble, dried floral accents and fruit pudding. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, tangy, touch of puckering, juicy crunchy apple, stewed apple, apple skin, touch of leather, light tannin and warming festive spice with a drying, puckering apple finish. Average body and soft carbonation. Strikes a lovely balance. Super drinkable. Not heavy or tough going in any way.

750ml bottle from their online store. It pours clear oily golden - yellow. The aroma is fresh, bright, zingy, crunchy apple, twist of lemon, white wine, hay, must and dry oak. The taste is initially, crisp, firmly dry, touch of pucker, white vinous, tart white wine, crunchy green apple, gooseberry, tannin, leathery apple skin, dry oak, some acidity, minerality, chalkiness and a nip of alcohol. Finish is dry and tannic. Medium body and still. Nice to see these guys try something like this. Like apple wine.
