Windfall Orchard Ice Cider

Comes in a 375 ml, long-neck, draw-cork bottle. Made by Eden, using at least 30 heirloom apple varieties from the Windfall Orchard in Cornwall, Vermont. Rich bronze colour, with a sweet, toffee apple aroma, carrying tones of liquorice and pine resin in the edge. Smooth, syrupy, and packed with fruit flavours. Apricot and peach vie with apple, and a little tartness creeps into the aftertaste, as the skin asserts itself. Very easy sipping; a glass is soon gone. Would accompany desserts like creme brulee or panna cotta with panache, or a rich, creamy cheese.

Masterful ice cider. Awesome acidity to balance the sweetness, amazing Apple flavor. So good.

Full bodied and very sweet. Strong honey flavor and mouthfeel. Can also taste some pear, brown sugar, toffee and caramel flavors.

$17 / 187ml or #27 / 375ml from Eden's online store. Concentrated notes of rich ripe baked apple, caramelized sugar, honey, stone fruit, and floral. I really enjoyed it; Eden has never disappointed.  However, this was a bit more fruity than rich, and slightly less complex than some of their others.  A lovely sipping beverage to have with dessert. My favorite Eden ice cider remains their Heirloom Blend Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Ice Cider, but they are all awesome.
