Manoir Kinkiz Cidre Fouesnant Semi-Dry Apple Cider (750ml)

For those new to French cider or just looking for something different from the sweeter, mass-produced ciders common in Australia, Manoir Kinkiz 'Fouesnant' is the place to start. Older apple varieties are harvested from orchards located in Pays Fousnantais. Pressing is done when the fruit is fully ripe, from late September to December. Fermentation is slow, ending with natural fermentation in the bottle for about two and a half months, infusing a fine bubble. Recognised for its pleasant bitterness, roundness and persistent aromas of fresh apple, fresh butter and hazelnut, this 'semi-dry' expression is most commonly enjoyed as an aperitif or with light snacks. 5% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Clear gold pour with heavy carbonation. Moderate to strong apple aroma with some tannins, funk and mineral presence. Taste is semi-sweet with a nice apple flavor backed by some earth and barnyard. Moderate acidity. - ciderexpert.com
