Bottle, clear and a touch rusty red colour, aroma of apple, funkiness amd just a touch of leather, aroma of very ripe apples and funkiness, quite sweet but balanced by an empathic sourmess, making this a clean and highly enjoyable sidra.

Bottle, 75cl. A lightly sparkling, clear, golden cider. There’s apple cores and some barnyard in the aroma, as well as some lighlty sweet apples. It’s quite effervescent on the palate, medium bodied and semi-dry. A little sweetness in the flavor, with lemony hints, apple cores and some barnyard. Lasting finish. A quite nice one, although a tad sweeter than I prefer. 140228
