Apple Cider
7.0% ABV | 750ml
We are excited to share this legacy with you with the release of the 2020 Farmhouse Cider. Local apple juice was sourced from Stirling Fruit Farms just down the road, a longstanding tradition rooted in the decades long friendship between the late Don Lightfoot and Ralph Stirling Sr. The 2020 blend contains five different tart and tannic heritage type apple varieties - Jonagold, Golden Russet, McIntosh, Gravenstein, Northern Spy - and 10% Bosc Pear juice. Primary fermentation was with wild yeasts in stainless steel on Scheurebe lees. Secondary fermentation took place in bottle with neutral Champagne yeasts, creating the gentle CO2. Bottled in late January 2021, this cider spent 34 months aging with the lees sediment prior to release. As this bottling is non-disgorged, there is an intentional cloudy yeast sediment in the bottle.
