THE NEWT FINE CYDER 2020- REVIEW AND AWARD


The Newt Fine Cyder 2020

On the nose: All the hallmarks of its predecessor vintage. Soft green apples and pears, a touch of white peach and lots of blossomy florals. The Newt’s copy says it’s Riesling-style, but to me this is much more ripe Pinot Grigio in its aromatics.

In the mouth: Acidity comes almost as a surprise after the softness of that nose – a real sherbet, tangy zinginess, offset by light sweetness. Green apple, lime drizzle, cut grass and gooseberry. Big Sauvignon Blanc vibes, particularly thinking of Sauvignon from somewhere like Elgin. Fresh, zesty, clean, vivacious and super summery. Big flavour and great acidity.

In a nutshell: Tasty stuff. And, as with the 2018, a very different style to Somerset’s norm.

Alive with the deliciously crisp flavours of elderflower, gooseberry and green apple. Possesses a fine mouthwatering acidity that lingers gleefully after the last sip.
