On Farnum Hill (and in most of the world), “ciders” are alcoholic beverages fermented from particular apples, just as "wines" are fermented from particular grapes. (Fresh apple juice is properly called “sweet cider” or – fresh apple juice.) Farnum Hill Ciders are dry (not sweet), aromatic, complex, great with plain or fancy food.
Cider apples, with their odd names and strange tannic flavors, make far better cider than fruit-bowl apples - just as wine grapes make way better wine than fruit-bowl grapes. “Bittersweet” apples (Dabinett, Ellis Bitter, Yarlington Mill, and more) help bring out a wild variety of aromas & flavors. So, many fruity, herbal, mineral, and earthy notes unfold within a pleasing tannic-acid balance.
Serve cool, not cold! Too much chilling hides the full fun of Farnum Hill aromas, flavors, and the fabulous food-friendly finish we’re so proud of.
