Lobo Apple Brandy 40.1% 700ml captures the essence of the Adelaide Hills orchard in every drop. This small-batch apple brandy is crafted from carefully selected cider apples grown in the cool climate of South Australia’s renowned Adelaide Hills, an area celebrated for its vibrant fruit and distinctive terroir. Distilled and matured in small oak barrels, Lobo Apple Brandy reflects a perfect harmony of tradition and innovation, drawing on Norman cider-making heritage while expressing a unique Australian character.
In the glass, it presents a soft amber hue reminiscent of dusk settling over a tranquil orchard. The aromatic profile is complex and inviting, featuring layered notes of baked apple, dried hay, toffee brittle, and a subtle hint of cinnamon bark. A delicate floral lift, evoking apple blossoms warmed by the late afternoon sun, adds to its nostalgic charm.
The palate reveals a supple and warming introduction, where stewed apple and vanilla cream lead gracefully. This is followed by oak spice and roasted almond, providing structure and depth. A subtle sharpness reminiscent of dry cider pays homage to its orchard origins, balanced by rich butterscotch, honeycomb, and nuanced threads of leather and clove. The mid-palate delivers refined texture and poise, with hints of dried fruit and the gentle influence of old barrel aging that enrich without overwhelming.
The finish is medium-long, softly tannic, and gently spiced, encouraging slow, contemplative sipping. Lobo Apple Brandy is an elegant spirit designed to be savored after the meal, offering a quietly powerful experience that celebrates time, place, and craftsmanship.
