Four things about the wine and cider
Highlights
Ripe late-autumn fruit, pressed the same day. 
Poured from a carafe into a low glass. Pale gold and clear. 
Clear fruit, crisp acidity.
11% and 5% vol · sample figures
Taste
The wine is pale gold with a fine mousse, fresh fruit and a touch of white blossom. The cider is lighter and gently tart, easy with lunch.
Both are dry and barely sweet, letting the fruit’s acidity lead.
