Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma. Red skin apple with rosé wine upfront. Slightly dessert-based. Lots of wine elements.
Initial Taste: Minimal bite. Red flesh apple upfront with a mild red wine (unknown variety) to start. Delicate and smooth, its got some floral, strawberry and vanilla notes.
After Taste: Apple skins become more noticeable along with some tannins from the grapes. Still light and easy but somewhat long lasting with a touch of a film.
On ice: A lot less floral, more apple and less delicate.

Additional Notes:  Chudleigh’s Rosé Cider is of the wine-infused type, blending wine with cider where the colour is almost a metallic pink. It’s a soft and delicate cider blend, easy to consume with a good balance of both wine and apples.  Somewhat long lasting, and the wine is complimentary not overpowering.  Serve alongside a garden tea-party.
