Alpenfire Cider - Foxwhelp Single-Varietal 2023 (750 mL)
Alpenfire Cider - Foxwhelp Single-Varietal 2023 (750 mL)
Alpenfire's fourth release of this 100% estate single varietal, produced from their organically grown Foxwhelp apples. Each release of this cider from Alpenfire has been one of our favorites of theirs. The 2023 vintage is slightly off-dry with strong acids and tannins (Medium-Plus on each, and well balanced).
Tasting notes: Like biting into a fresh, crisp, crunchy apple flesh and green apple skin. Lovely linger of fresh apple, candy lemon, tart acidity, and a slight tannic grip.
The Foxwhelp is an English bittersharp cider apple, known for its aromatics and versatility. One of the oldest surviving cider apples still in use, originally from the Gloucestershire area. Historically a single strength cider from this apple would fetch the same price on the market in London as imported French Wine.
