Gold French Cider

Pair this wine with:
Pork

Category: French Cider

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 6% RS: 1.8%
Medium light gold color. Aromas and flavors of leather, old oak, english cheddar, and bamboo shoots with a round, vibrant, spritzy, dry medium body and a complex, medium-length finish that exhibits notes of apple sauce on lightly smoked honey ham, cedar, oak, and leather, dry flowers, hibiscus blossom, and fermenting ginger and honey. Very farmhouse-y without being overly funky; lots of complex flavors that lend themselves well to drinking easily without blowing out the palate.
