Brewed in the UK by Shepherd Neame. Asahi Super Dry Black focuses on the rich, flavoursome nature of a darker brew while still capturing the refreshing, dry taste that Asahi Super Dry is known for. The first extension of the original lager, dry black is brewed like a traditional lager & uses the iconic no. 318 yeast that super dry is known for. The deeper, darker flavour of the beer is derived from roasted malt, while the crispness comes from the addition of rice & corn. ...

Black plum, cranberry & pomegranate combine with hints of clove, cedar, iron, dry-aged beef & turned earth on the nose. The palate is tight, bright & pure, with flavours of cranberry & pomegranate. There is a marked minerality behind vibrant fine-grained, dry tannins. This is an elegant, tensile wine that is built to last a very long time. Structurally (and aesthetically) it seems to be somewhere between young Bordeaux & Barolo. After the early & short 2015 & 2016 harvests, 2018, like 2017 was back to our usual timing, beginning at the end of the first week of February & finishing at the end of the first week of March. Higher than usual early Spring temperatures brought early budding, but an unusually wet & cool November/ December affected flowering & fruit-set, resulting in particularly low yields

A warmer than average February, combined with the very low yields, smaller berries & lighter bunches did however contribute to the riper more opulent style for the 2018 vintage, the resulting wines were deeper, fuller & more structured. The wine was aged initially for 10 months in 400 litre barrels, then 7 months in neutral 2000 litre Foudre. All 100% French Francois Freres Oak. 224 dozen cases were made in total.
