Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Strong aroma. Sweet, juicy apples. Lots of pulp. Hint of vanilla.
Initial Taste: Light bite from carbonation. Sweet and plump apple. Soft and extra crisp. Some tannic elements in the initial taste but overall very smooth. Medley of dessert apple notes.
After Taste: Becomes even more apple juice like, finishing with a long-lingering pulpy dessert apple flavour. Sweet but tastes almost exclusively naturally so. Ends on caramelized apple notes.
On ice: Less apple flavour.
Additional Notes: The Jabulani Vineyard and Winery Hard Cider is a very soft, super apple forward. It could easily be mistaken for non-alcoholic. Its pulpy, fresh and has a slight caramelized element to it. Easy to consume, and comes in a fun 1L resealable bottle. Some of the most naturally sweet cider we have come across.
