Verdant Cider - Heritage Dry Cider (500 ML)
Verdant Cider's Heritage Dry Cider is Verdant's flagship cider, likely to be a blend released annually.
The apple blend in this batch includes Newtown Pippin, Golden Russet, Liberty, Ashmeads Kernel, Vilberie, and Dabinett. The Newtown Pippin, Golden Russet, and Liberty apple varieties come from an orchard farmed by Verdant's cidermaker, Jeff, at Bethel Heights Vineyard in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. The other apples come from Ashley at Pleasant Valley Cider Apples in the Willamette Valley.
Tasting Notes: Dry, tart, fresh, clean and crisp with a lingering citrusy finish. Aroma of yellow apple, fresh pear, green grape, fresh pineapple, and petrichor. Medium-plus acidity and medium tannins. Off dry at first sip with notes of green grape, fresh apple, and lemon. Medium body mellows the tartness. A floral (honeysuckle) and mineral profile washes over the palate with mellow tannins and fresh acidity. Finishes bone dry with lingering notes of apple skins, star fruit, lime zest, and orange peel. A very nice, sharp-forward blend with balancing acidity.
