Mount Diablo Cider - Quince (750 mL)
Mount Diablo Cider - Quince (750 mL)
Mount Diablo Cider's Quince is a refined blend of biodynamic quince from the Anderson Valley and apples grown in California's Sierra Foothills. Floral, tart, and subtly sparkling, this cider highlights quince’s ancient, aromatic character with a dry, elegant finish.
Granniwinkle apples - a rare American heirloom apple - and quince are hand harvested, crushed, pressed and wild fermented in separate neutral French oak barrels from naturally present native yeasts. Unfined and unfiltered, the finishing Quince and Granniwinkle cider is blended and bottled before primary fermentation completes, resulting in a balanced, quince-forward profile with delicate effervescence.
Tasting Notes: Fresh apple and quince on the nose. Floral aromatics with hints of cooked pear, candy peach, lime zest, and vanilla. It drinks semi-dry, soft body, with plus acidity and medium tannins. The tannins are a pleasant surprise in a quince cider. Tropical and floral notes from the quince are the star of the show. The mouthwatering acidity cleanses a touch of sweetness early in the palate and modest tannins that give it nice structure. Floral rose notes are prominent at the front of the sip, followed by cooked pineapple and fresh apple skins. Lingering floral and quince notes with hints of green apple skin, lime zest, fresh nectarine, and a bit of oak in a pleasantly long finish.
