Our Solera cider started in 2022 with a coferment of our estate apples (Fuji, Jonagold, Spartan, Liberty, Akane, and Melrose) and pears (Bosc, Bartlett, shinseiki) in an oak barrel. We blended a portion of this barrel from 2022 with 2023 ciders including a spontaneous barrel ferment of wild foraged apples from the Nooksack Valley, and spontaneous ferment of cider apples sourced from WSU in Mount Vernon (Grindstone; Whitney Crab; Rene de Hatives; Micheline; Puget Spice; Liberty; Harrison; Margil; Bramley's Seeding; Finkenwerder Herbsprintz; Lambrook Pippin; Major; Yarlington Mill; Stembridge Jersey; Mott Pink; Muscat de Dieppe; Ross Nonpareil; Hudson's Golden Gem; Harry Masters; Jersey; Taliaferro; Grimes Golden & Chisel Jersey).
This blend is dry, though some perceived sweetness can be attributed to sorbitol, which is naturally occurring in pears. It has medium tannins, bright acidity and is a crowd pleaser.

Bottle pour at Barmann Cellars, pours an opaque cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of funky apple and pear skins, a fermented out honey character, and a touch of oak. Flavour is oaky and dry, with lots of musty apple skins, light champagne-like effervescence, and a touch of funk. Oaky, dry, lightly effervescent finish, with fairly low residual sugar. Not as complex as it could be but very competently done.
