Revel Cider Company Long Story

A 50/50 blend of saline, sherry-like apple cider aged in oak (2017), with young, bright Sauvignon Blanc (2020).Revel's first Apera - kind of. Apera is the term for new world Sherry. They've stretched that definition a bit.The discovery of a sherry-like cider was exciting, but Revel's first thought was it needed something aromatically. A quick search for something tropical-ish made Sauvignon Blanc the clear choice. They added a little bit of organic lemon verbena to amp it up a touch further.Long Story is pretty magical. Buttery, salty oak melds with tropical lychee to create a mind-bending maraschino white-tea profile. It's weighty, low acid and still. Meant to sip and contemplate. Enjoy it chilled, or over a big ice cube. The cider makers recommend treating Long Story like a regular bottle of wine and finishing it within 2-3 days.
