Limus Quince Cider 2022
Mount Gambier, South Australia
Quinces, Apples
8% ABV.
Delicious, delicious cider from Berrin/Mount Gambier, on Boandik Country on the Limestone Coast of South Australia.
We’ve been deeply in love with drinking cider for a long time now, as both an aperitif and an accompaniment to a meal, and recently we’ve been particularly loving seeing a growing number of quince-based ciders come through our doors from various corners of the world.
This bottle comes from Kyatt Dixon who, in addition to making varietal wines from some excellent vineyards in Gambier, also works with an organic apple and quince orchard. Kyatt has previously lived in Vanuatu and gained his PhD studying seaweed there, and brings to his winemaking a deep and multi-faceted understanding of plant health. Unsurprisingly, his wines and ciders are always characterised by high quality of fruit and very sensitive handling in the winery. He’s a deep thinker and a great person to chat to about farming.
This bottle saw Golden Delicious apples, Granny Smith apples and quinces – all from the same orchard – picked, crushed, pressed and co-fermented in barrel for 12 months. The cider was then carbonated by blending with a portion of the following year’s wild fermenting juice.
This is delicate, dry and refreshing, with a delicious core of apple fruit in the mid-palate complemented by the lovely, lifted, very distinctive aromatic properties of the quince.
