Elegant and clean, off-dry and refreshing, lovely ripe flavour, gentle bubble, smooth, none of the harshness and bitters of many apple ciders, stylish, decent length.
Creamy, spicy, ripe Pinot fruit, lovely balance, freshness and intensity, wonderful strawberry flavours, hint of undergrowth, herbs and ripe tannins; lovely aromatic finish. A very versatile companion with lunch on a scorchingly hot day.
Half bottle. 18.5 Baumé, 9.5% ABV, RS 161 gr/l. Flowers, ripe fruit, hint of honey, peach and apricot fruit; elegant and stylish, bright acidity, lively but not searing, good concentration and extract; lovely length. Attractive, relatively easy, drink young.
