Background: This apple wine is made by Wölffer from apples grown by the Halseys of White Cap Farm in Watermill, New York. The wine is fermented with Côte des Blancs yeast, a strain known for preserving fruit flavour and aroma, and contains the following apple varieties: 20% Braeburn, 20% Gold Rush, 20% Pink Lady, 20% Fuji, 9% Ida Red, 6% Jonagold, and 5% Mutsu.
Nose: Fresh, crisp apples and hints of yeast.
Taste: Lightly sweet, mild acidity and good apple flavour. Creamy yeast notes.
Overall: Clean, refreshing wine with enough acidity to cleanse the palate after robust foods like bacon and blue cheese.
