South Hill Cider - Sunlight Transformed (750 mL)
South Hill Cider's Sunlight Transformed is a cider & wine coferment made by fermenting Dabinett apples on Cabernet Sauvignon skins (from Sheldrake Point Vineyard - a winery on the west shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, just north of South Hill's cidery). The Dabinett apples are grown on South Hill's estate orchard. The Fresh Dabinett juice is used to rehydrate the grape skins, which are co-fermented using the wild, ambient yeast from the fruit.
This is the third vintage of this cider (2022 fruit harvest season).
Tasting Notes: Aromas of grass, pastry dough, apple skin, grapefruit zest, rose, and anise. Complex and full bodied with some apple forward sweetness up front supported by a strong tannin rush that comes on mid palate. Opens with red grape skin, black currant, rose, and a fruity juiciness, followed by notes of apple skin, and soft red grape that quickly turns to drying tannins with a floral bitter finish with hints of twig/apple stem.
