Abel Methode Cider 2018

Abel Méthode Cider is made each year (vintage) in small quantities from freshly harvested Nelson apples and pears.

We hand-pick tree ripened fruit, crush it, then ferment until dry. Our cider is unfined and unfiltered. This basically means we allow our cider to naturally clarify via gravity, this gentle process helps preserve the natural fruit characteristics. Fermented in the bottle, just like champagne, this natural carbonation gives a finer bubble & bead which retains the aromas and flavours. Bottle fermentation adds complexity and texture, as well as giving cloudiness from the yeast sediment that remains.

It has amazing pure green apple, lime, sherbet, pear & floral aromas with delicious dry, tangy apple flavours, mouthwatering acidity and a delicate crunchy tannin finish. A must try for wine lovers as well as cider fans.

This is a fantastic buy under $13!
