This is a cider that definitely profits from its long maturation. It spends 18 months in the barrel before bottling. Slight oak notes and a prolonged drying finish (presumably from the same oak barrels) add a different dimension to the standard sidra natural flavor profile.

{{Cider Evaluation}}

==Tasting Notes==
Very restrained, and impeccably balanced. Aromas of straw and earthy apple orchard combine with white wine notes. 

====About Cider Tasting====
''This evaluation standard is my own. It is not created or endorsed by any official body in [[Asturias]] or elsewhere. I designed it based on the work of the [https://www.brewersassociation.org/ Brewer’s Association] and the work of Travis Robert Alexander & Brianna L. Ewing Valliere of the Washington State University Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources. It is also informed by the traditional vocabulary used to describe cider in Asturias.
