Craftsmanship and Quality
SXOLLIE’s process is steeped in authenticity – think of it as a modern take on a traditional craft. The cider is made naturally like a wine, using Champagne yeast to enhance the extraction of apple characteristics and seal in extra flavours, while only using famous, single varietal apples locally sourced from one dedicated grower in the Elgin Valley, Western Cape, S.A. One can even know the exact orchard and block where the apples are grown, which speaks volumes about the meticulous attention to quality. There’s a sense of pride and honesty in this meticulous process – and it shows in every refreshing sip.
Commitment to Natural Ingredients
There’s a refreshing honesty in the production of SXOLLIE – a commitment to using nothing but natural ingredients, which means there’s no crap added at any stage. In today’s world, where shortcuts are common, SXOLLIE stands out by shunning any sugar additions and unnecessary flavourings. The mantra is simple: if it isn’t natural, it doesn’t belong. This natural approach not only results in a pure, unadulterated cider but also supports environmental and economic sustainability by focusing on single-source, responsible trade rather than aid.
Distinctive Flavor Profiles
SXOLLIE is not just a cider; it’s a flavor journey. With variants that cater to different palates, this cider brings a burst of personality in every bottle. The range includes:
• Granny Smith: Crisp, tart and refreshing with a crunchy acidity that makes it impossible to forget.
• Golden Delicious: A very inviting pale golden colour with a subtle sparkle and a distinct hint of the apple it’s made from.
• Cripps Pink: A cheeky balance of acidity and sweetness with subtle floral undertones, daring taste buds to explore its complexity.
• Packham’s Pear: Featuring a delicate honey, almost caramel profile with just a hint of elderflower, rose, and almond – putting the ‘Pear’ into ‘Pear-secco’.
The pronunciation is as fun as the tasting experience – SXOLLIE is pronounced SKO-LLIE (like trolley)! This playful edge perfectly captures the daring spirit behind the cider.
