Empyrical Cider - Bittersweet (500 mL)
Empyrical Cider's Bittersweet is a beautifully balanced, off-dry cider made from a blend of French and English bittersweet apple varieties: Frequin Rouge, Dabinett, Brown Snout, Porter's Perfection, Domaines, Vilberie, and Yarlington Mill. Finished with burnt sugar. Fresh ripe apple is prominent on the nose, along with clove, nutmeg, and orange zest. On the palate, juicy red apple with a touch of orange zest is notable up front, with an off-dry sweetness that is cut through pretty quickly by a rush of soft tannins that slowly mellow as the medium acidity washes over. Mid-palate notes of baked apple, leather, and clove. Finishes bone dry with light lingering tannins, and lasting notes of apple fruit leather, orange zest, and vanilla. A lovely cider that is very food-friendly.
