This is a full juice, wild fermented still dry cider, with no added sulphites, barrel aged, 7.1% abv. Made from 80% Harry Masters Jersey with a 20% mix of sharp and bittersharp Cornish apples for a dash of acidity. Fermented naturally and aged in ex pinot noir barrels for 10 months. Notes of wood, leather and white currants supported by lovely structural tannins. Serve as you would a medium to full body red wine, around 15c - 17c, great with a Sunday Roast.
Klys is a Cornish word, meaning snug, cosy, warm. Perfect condtions to indulge in a bottle...
