Kystin Cider - Chataigne Apple & Chestnut Cider
Kystin Cider - Chataigne Apple & Chestnut Cider
This fascinating elixir is made by co-fermenting apples and organic chestnuts. The result is a sparkling cider with delicate chestnut notes. Why Cuvee XVII? Because there are 17 ingredients: 16 varieties of apples plus the 17th element, the chestnut!
Tasting Notes
This sparkling cider drinks semi-sweet, though the sweetness level from the juice is actually more semi-dry, the full body, fruitiness, and mild cocoa and candied chestnut essence increase the overall sweetness perception. Nutty and caramel aromatics draw you in for an intriguing balance of fresh green apple notes, ripe bittersweet apple notes, chestnut flavor, and soft amaretto nuttiness.
