Sparkling Rosé Cider
Stolen Roses is an homage to an ancestral style of cider once made in alpine Italy called vin ëd pom or pomada, where the fresh cider was fermented on red wine skins in large wooden vats. Our base cider is made in an old Vermont farmhouse style where each season’s cider is layered into the last, creating an assemblage of many seasons, defined by not only the story of the fruit of that season, but also memory and nostalgia. We seed the base with new cider fermenting on our red wine pomace filled with the native sugars and yeasts found in our homefarm orchard to produce a methode Champenoise sparkling made from many different wild and cultivated apple varietals from our land.
FRUIT / Marquette skins & Apples {42 varieties, wild and cultivated}
VINEYARD / Les Carouges Vineyard - Vergennes {Champlain Valley, Vermont}
ORCHARD / Home Farm Orchard ~ Barnard {Vermont}
CELLAR / Indigenous yeasts, no filtering or fining. No added sulfites.
ALC/VOL / 8%

750ml bottle from The Triangle. 2017 Vintage. My cider rating #6000. Orangey golden colour with reddish tinge, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, sour fruit, floral, wood, funk. Taste is tart & tangy, acetic funky, appley, with wood, flowery, grape skins, biscuity hint, some acidity and tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying soured finish with alittle lingering biscuit. Nicely drinkable.
