Made from a blend of apples from wild trees and the old orchards at Newhall Farm. Some crabs and European cider varieties were also added to boost tannins. The cider was fermented with native yeasts, with about half of the batch spending time in old bourbon and rye barrels.
This briskly sparking dry cider is medium bodied with refreshing acidity and moderate tannins. The nose is fruity, with some vanilla and spice contributed by the barrels, followed by baked apple and lemon. The finish is dry and cleansing. It should evolve in bottle for several years at least.
This cider is best served chilled, in a white wine glass or champagne flute. A great lower alcohol aperitif, it is also very food friendly. 240 cases made, available in 750ml and 375ml.

750ml bottle I picked up at Hunger Mountain, pours a mostly clear orange with a ring of fluffy head. Nose has apples, some barrel, a little flinty. Flavor has apple juice, green apple tartness, a little buttery. Bone dry finish.
