About This Cider
Cider Mill Windvane is a modern craft cider that captures the clean and refreshing qualities of Irish apple cider. Produced in Ireland using carefully selected apples, this 5% cider is designed to deliver a balanced and approachable drinking experience while still showcasing the natural character of the fruit. Within craft cider Ireland, it stands out as a versatile and well-structured option that suits a wide range of occasions.
The flavour profile is centred on fresh orchard apple notes, providing a crisp and natural apple character that feels both refreshing and authentic. This is supported by a gentle sweetness and a light acidity that keeps the cider lively and balanced. The result is a clean and smooth cider that remains easy to drink while still offering enough depth to hold interest.
Unlike more heavily tannic or higher-strength ciders, Windvane focuses on drinkability and balance. It is neither overly dry nor overly sweet, making it a great option for those who want a straightforward and reliable apple cider that still reflects quality production.
