A reprise of the Dry Run 2020, with a nod to the Halfway Wild…
Fresh. Acidic. Softly astringent.
Retail synopsis:
Same but different but same but different… The plan had been straightforward, a recreation of the inaugural Dry Run Cider, half Dabinett and half local acidic donor apples. The result is earthier, fruitier and more complex than the 2020
Same – Blend of 50% local fruit and 50% Dabinett
Different – Dabinett component wild fermented, locals done with cultured wine yeast
Same – Steely acidity and gentle astringency
Different – Broader shoulders, brighter fruit
Pairs astonishingly well with a full-bore Lamb Madras, bringing palate-cleansing acidity and punchy tropical fruit notes to proceedings.
“Lychee, leather and autumn leaves on the nose. Acid-led delivery of big bright fruit flavours, giving way to a lasting mellow astringency”
