PRODUCER: SIDRA RIESTRA, Nava, Astúrias

CIDER MAKER: Raúl Riestra

8% alc./vol., 750 ml., cork closure

Riestra bottles his richest matured primary fermented wild (spontaneous native) yeast sidra natural (natural cider) for a second, full-on champagne method fermentation to bone dry-ness with a chardonnay yeast, transforming an earthy rustic source into a complex, refined and rare cider. With a fine and intense bubble and smokey character, this is a one-of-a-kind cider appropriate wherever a champagne or cava are called for.

The Cider Journal: Best 10 International Ciders of 2014. This is absolutely delicious sparkling cider and an excellent and exciting example of new generation Spanish cider. This could very easily replace Champagne. Tom Wark
