Twig is an annual tradition. A single orchard cider made using native yeast and wild foraged apples from Twig Farm in West Cornwall, VT.
While Michael Lee may be most well known for his Twig Farm cheese, he has been an invaluable resource for Shacksbury when it comes to scouting and foraging for wild apples. When we were tasting through our single origin Lost Apple Project foraged fruit, even very early on, we knew Twig was special. We bottle Twig in collaboration with Michael Lee as one of our only single origin Lost Apple Project ciders we produce. The cider has a light effervescence and notes of bitter herbs, ripe fruit, and wild flowers.

Clear bottle from their cider club. Stemless wine glass @home. Orange wine sorta color. Golden, but not perfectly clear. Nose is earth, aerosol, bubblegum, lots of pepper. A little unique. Lots of bubblegum, bittersharp apples, cherry & vinegar. Bright. Vinegar fades somewhat, leaving tannic apple skin. Very vinegary regardless. Light but forceful carbonation, not absolutely settled, fumey alcohol. Just okay.
