Durham Cider - A Tribe Called Quince 2020 (750 mL)
Back again, same as the reverse. The infamous pomme trio has dropped it's second vintage while looking to top debut gold with some added platinum. Time will tell but it has been seen steadily climbing the charts. Shocker alert: ATCQ disappears in Season 3 as the pear trees were ripped out due to low production. So get 'em while you can! Spoiler alert: a new stash of perry trees has been discovered and is currently under negotiations for a Season 4 vintage.
Made with a blend of apples (including bittersharp, bittersweet, and dessert apples), pears, and quince. The quince and some of the apples are allowed to macerate prior to pressing. Spontaneously fermented between two different batches that are blended just a couple days before bottling. Bottled prior to fermentation completing for a Pet-Nat sparkle. This batch of this fan favorite cider is dry with medium-plus to high tannins and medium-plus acidity. The modest percentage of quince still leads the flavor profile, with additional tasting notes of pineapple, apple skins, floral, lemon, and lemongrass.
