A light champagne, gone to rust.
From Laagraven they took the red-fleshed apples — Red Love and Sonnenglanz — the ones that bleed when cut, and let the oak round their edges. Light orange-red it poured, clear and elegant, with a fresh acidity and something floral caught beneath, like a pale champagne gone to rust. Low in strength, high in grace. Gone now, all of it. The ravens kept only the memory.
