From Ross on Wye:

This is the 2022 edition of Raison d’Être. Fiery, intense, complex – this vintage features 90% Dabinett, 10% Bisquet, with a larger barrel fermented component than ever before. The result is a cider with real depth – astoundingly inviting aromatics, a mixture of bittersweet apple, orchard leaves, and smokey oak cask, lead into the most flavoursome Raison ever. Acres of fruit in each sip, filling the midpalate with that classic faux sweetness, before the herbal element of Dabinett softens the mouth for a long, winding tannic finish of gentle bitterness and a touch of astringency. It’s dry, bittersweet cider, just as we love it.
