Description
Moderately light-bodied dry apple wine. Balanced acidity. Moderately extracted.
Smoke, pears, mint. Crisply delineated flavors evolve nicely on an elegant
palate. Dry, refreshing finish.
Fruit
The Baldwin apple was developed from a seedling discovered in Wilmington,
Massachusetts in the early eighteenth century. It is a very firm, coarse
fleshed, sweet and tart apple with spicy character. Excellent for pies, sweet and
hard cider, and wine.
Winemaking
Apples are crushed and pressed and the juice settled. The must is fermented in
stainless steel tanks then aged in American oak barrels for 3-6 months. The wine
is bottled with less than 1% residual reducing sugar.
Aging
In the bottle the wine ages well for 1-2 years, but is ready to drink as soon as
it rests for a fortnight after bottling.
Food Pairings and Serving Suggestions
Excellent with poultry, ham or pork. Serve chilled.
