[75cl bottle direct from the Winery.] A bright gold pour; still with an apple blossom aroma; medium dry with a slightly floral taste and quite a lot of tannin. A straightforward still cider, but not really what I think of as Scrumpy.

Taste comprises sweet honey, rhubarb crumble, sweet tones, light herb, berry fruits. Full bodied, oily feel, warming alcohol delivered at the curtain call. Decent mead ... these guys upped their game? Surprised at the 3.1 score!
