Brewing Process
- Ingredients: Baladin Sidro is made using a blend of apples, handpicked from local orchards. The apples are carefully selected for their flavor profiles, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Brewing Technique: The cider is produced through traditional fermentation methods, where the natural sugars in the apples are fermented by wild or cultivated yeasts.
- Fermentation: The apples undergo a slow fermentation process to develop their flavors. The cider is then aged for a period to allow the flavors to mature and harmonize.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A pale, golden color with a slight haziness, showcasing the natural character of the cider.
- Aroma: The nose is fresh and fruity, with vibrant apple aromas and a hint of floral notes. There are subtle undertones of citrus and green apple that add to its complexity.
- Palate: On the palate, Baladin Sidro is light-bodied and refreshing, with a crisp apple flavor and a well-balanced acidity. The cider has a natural sweetness that is perfectly balanced by the tartness of the apples, resulting in a smooth and easy-drinking finish.
Food Pairing
Baladin Sidro pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods. It complements fresh salads, seafood dishes, and grilled meats. It also works well with cheese, especially soft and creamy varieties like Brie or goat cheese. For a more indulgent pairing, try it with apple-based desserts like tarts or pies.
Serving Recommendations
- Serving Temperature: Serve chilled, between 4-6°C (39-43°F), to enhance the cider's crisp and refreshing character.
- Glassware: A tulip-shaped glass or a traditional cider glass is ideal for showcasing the cider’s delicate aromas and allowing for the perfect pour.
- Enjoyment: Best enjoyed on a sunny day or with casual gatherings, Baladin Sidro makes for an excellent companion to light meals, picnics, or as a standalone refreshment.
Aging Potential
Baladin Sidro is intended to be enjoyed fresh, as its vibrant apple flavors are at their peak when consumed within the first year of production. It is not suitable for aging and should be enjoyed while it is still young and crisp.
