This bottle contains a blend of Killahora Orchards finest ciders which have been aged in neutral Irish whisky barrels and allowed to mature in cellars.  It is their first production of a pure, dry cider made from 100% bittersweet apple juice, wild fermented, unfiltered and allowed to condition naturally in the bottle to a light sparkle.

This is a real expression of natural terroir and will appeal to those who may enjoy other wild fermented liquids such as lambic beer especially Oude gueze, and natural wines.  The complexity that can come from ciders such as these will undoubtedly surprise and delight those who try it.

Tasting Notes:
Sparkling and pale yellow, cloudiness at finish with natural sediment
Summer apple softness, baked brioche, lots of oak barrel character with subtle hints of aged whiskey and a white pepper finish with some characteristic wild fermented notes.

Serve:
Lightly chilled as a complex sipper or goes with almost any food!

Pairing:
Serve with cooked meats, oily fish or roasted vegetables.   A real food all rounder given its balance of acidity and tannins!

Alcohol:
6.0%

Killahora Orchards

Founded by two cousins, Barry Walsh and Dave Watson, Killahora Orchards is a family business founded on an estate dating back to 1750, with the goal of growing the best rare apple and pear varieties on Irish soil and to use artisanal techniques to turn them into award winning drinks. Everything is handmade on site with 100% fresh juice and we take our time, allowing their products to mature for up to a year to achieve the most complexity of flavour.
