COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned "Methode Normande" cider.
The Brown Snout, Dabinett and Yarlington Mill apples for this bottle-conditioned dry cider are gathered by hand. A slow steady fermentation in cool conditions is essential and so the fruit is not pressed until December. Wild yeasts ensure the full complexity and rich flavours of the apples develop and the fermentation is finished in the bottle producing a naturally sparkling cider.

750ml bottle, purchased from Ciderstore.com, tasted in January 2010. A distinctly refined cider. Light carbonation - less than one would normally find in a "Methode Normande" cider. Hazy straw appearance with an orange tinge. Not that dry. Some barnyard. This had a fair amount of bottle age but still very fruity. Good stuff.

Bottled@Chriso. Hazy yellow colour with particles floating around. Aroma is apples, wood, some spices and that’s about it . Flavour is wood, apples, some slight earthy notes as well. Burning on the tongue as well. Pleasant.
