Deep dark opaque purple in color. Yeasty black currant seed on nose., with high honeyed apple scent on top. Good appley snap or tartness on front in mouth with black currant juice flavor plus its seed and skin tannins on finish. Slight astringency from apple in aftertaste. A fine sipping cider, well made and structured, complex

Black Currant with fresh Apple. Depth of fruitiness of Sangria, but uniquely simple
