Perronelle's Blush English Draft Cider: A delicate refreshing blended cider created in tribute to Peronelle Chevallier, a remarkable mother, grandmother, and guiding force at Aspall for over 30 years. Blended with a dash of blackberry juice.FROM THEIR WEBSITE:A twist on the classic Kir Royale – champagne and crème de cassis replaced by cyder and crème de mure (blackberry liquer). We named this after our grandmother Perronelle and her rosy red cheeks.The colour is deep blush suggestive of dark summer fruit, with a rich appearance due to the viscosity of the Creme de Mure. There is a subtle blackberry aroma with a hint of traditional cyder apple. Deceptively smooth with a silky but refreshing palate, Blush offers a perfect blend of sweetness and acidity. It has a lovely mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste of berries.Superb as an aperitif – as an alternative to pink sparkling wines like Rose Champagne, Perronelle’s Blush is also an occasion drink – garden parties or balmy summer evenings after a hard day’s work. Particularly good with smoked salmon and apple balsamic vinegar dressing and desserts such as tarte au citron or gooseberry crumble with fresh cream. ABV 5.4%

Premier Cru has been awarded World's Best Cider and World's Best Dry Cider in the 2008 World Cider Awards run by Beers of The World Magazine.

Of mid straw-gold colour with a clean, light aroma of dessert apples, Premier Cru is dry, round and creamy on the palate with a good acid balance, pleasant soft tannins and an elegant, long finish.
