Cloudy, golden yellow color with pale yellow edges and a medium body. Legs are loooong and slow, and the nose is all naturále. Slightly funky but big on the citrus, especially the lemon, with a big nose of ripe rind, and hints of salt and tart yellow fruits (star fruit and maybe Budda’s hand?). It didn’t start out that way, it was all natural wine funk at the beginning, but after an hour it opened up a lot and rested into its own. Palate has some sharp acidity, ripe lemon and almost cooked citrus fruits, kinda creamy and caramelized, with notes of brandy, apple cider like hints, vegetal notes (like celery?), creamy cinnamon sugar (like a coffee cake) even a little forest floor! The flavor and acid lingers long after your sip, and leaves a slight zingy flavor on the palate. Whew! — 5 hours ago

Delicious and super tart apple ice cider fortified with apple@brandy I think this would be great for guests. Tart enough to make your cheeks squirm. — 5 years ago

Wow very sweet yet the lemon citrus and brandy flavors add an almost tangerine tangy essence that tingles the tongue. It's rich boldness is nice experience. — 8 years ago

Well balanced with endless layers of dark, dry fruit, Cuban cigar, cider, and clove. A fifteen year old Cab driven blend will great vibrancy and intensity. Vergelegen is a beautiful wine estate/farm in South Africa, between Stellenbosch and Somerset. You can tour the hundreds of acres Estate in a landrover like a safari. Fantastic visit!! Talking about visits…we, Spoken Wines, are packing our bags again and start another journey finding wine diamonds in the rough and tell their stories. Not in South Africa this time, but Argentina and Chile! Find us on Instagram to follow our journey. Question: any recommendations for Chile wineries to visit?? We will be in the Aconcagua Valley north of Santiago and in the Rapel Valley south of Santiago. I am not very familiar with Chile and would love to get some recommendations to reach out to. 🙏🙏 — 7 months ago

I was briefly back in Bath, England, for a friend's wedding. We drank cider. Fairly dry, largely flat and with a satisfying scent of decaying apples. Good West Country stuff. — 7 years ago

A marriage between dry cider and sweet mead. Strong apple notes with honey undertones. Not too sweet. No effervescence. Nice when paired with dried fruit or mixed with brandy. — a year ago

Snagged this on a drive up the CA coast with Turd Ferguson. Big apple pie nose, toasted oak, caramel apple, some heat. Pays d’Auge it isn’t, but a pretty enjoyable expression worth the $40. — 4 years ago

Having grown up in the West Country of England, I got to know what an unpasteurised bone dry apple cider tastes like. Turns out this 2-day on skins, natural white wine from Sete, tastes like a Somerset special. — 7 years ago
