Kisil
Drawn to ciders with complex profiles? This extra-dry, natural cider first catches the eye with its striking red-orange hue*. But it’s the flavours of red berries, rhubarb, and a subtly earthy, tannic finish that leaves a lasting impression.
Perfect alongside salmon tartare or a salade d’amour, it also pairs beautifully with brie or camembert, balancing its extra-dry character. During the holiday season, Kisil is a natural match for roast turkey with stuffing and cranberries.
Best shared at the table among curious minds and adventurous palates. You can even let them in on the secret: that striking colour comes from the hot skin maceration of Dolgo crabapples and red-fleshed Geneva apples.
*For the curious: Kisil is the Turkish word for red.
