Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium aroma. Pulpy apple. Some acidic and juicy elements upfront, with a woody, boozy finish.
Initial Taste: Medium bite from carbonation. Leads with boozy barreling notes that are quickly followed by a pulpy, sharp, juicy apple, dessert-focused but semi- crisp. Much like it smells, it has a few elements present.
After Taste: Apple dissipates quite quickly, leaving a fermentation finish with some barreling notes. Dry and sand-paper like sensation in mouth.
On ice: Thinner and less carbonated but overall experience similar.
Additional Notes: Domaine Heritage’s Terrior is based on the land the apples are grown on, in this case, commonly found varieties Macintosh, Logo and Cortland in Montérégie region. This barrel-aged offering has a strong woody start, a creamy apple middle and a dry, fermentation and funk finish. A lot going on, though not an overly long journey. 7% and could feel like a bit more. Some natural sweetness from the apple varieties used.
