Yasnaya Polyana Semi-Dry Cider is a natural semi-dry cider with around 5.5% ABV, crafted from local apple varieties grown on Leo Tolstoy’s historic estate in the Tula region. It strikes a balance between fruity sweetness and refreshing acidity, giving it a smooth and harmonious character.
The aroma evokes freshly picked apples with a hint of floral notes, while the flavor is juicy and rounded, finishing with a gentle touch of tannins. Compared to a fully dry cider, this style offers a softer profile yet preserves the natural authenticity and purity of fermentation without additives.
Its texture is crisp and refreshing, making it a versatile match for light meals, cheeses, and fruit-based desserts. Semi-Dry Cider from Yasnaya Polyana blends the estate’s gardening tradition with a modern craft approach, delivering a drink that conveys both the spirit of the region and the philosophy of sustainable use of natural resources.
