Description
Jaanihanso is a family owned cider house and orchard on a historic farm dating back to the 18th century. Our family bought Jaanihanso in 2000. Our knowledge of the farm’s history originates from the papers that we found from the house, and from older villagers stopping at our gate to reminisce about the “old days”.
The renovation story of the estate has been in sync with our own growing pains. Some years with larger construction works, some years not that much, but there has been constant mutual bettering. In 2013, when the last bits of the house had been refurbished, the car had to move out from its brand-new pigsty-turned-garage to make room for cider. Famously, a garage is the best place to start a venture.

355mL can, pours a clear dark amber/rose with a small off-white head. Nose is full of rosé wine notes, crisp apple skins, and some apple core. Flavour is surprisingly complex, with plenty of rosé wine, a touch of funk, apple core, some apple skins, and even some bugginess. There’s certainly some pucker, but it’s incorporated well. There’s a tiny bit of residual sweetness on the finish, which is just enough to complement the rosé character. Frankly, this is excellent.

Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2016 bbe 01.06.2028 ) im 2025-11 getrunken. Diesem rose farbenden Cider merkt man die 9 Jahre überhaupt nicht an. Es ist immer noch spritzig, mit ausgewogener Säure und Aromen von Äpfeln und dunkler Beeren. Ein tolles Cider!

Jug pour at Koht, served hot, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of Xmas spices, apple skins, and gentle brown sugar. Flavour is extremely spicy, with intense cinnamon, intense nutmeg—man, that clears the sinuses—with the apple juice in the background, with gentle sugars on the finish that get overshadowed by the intense spices. Not sure this works for me. The spices are too abrasive.

On tap at Põhja Konn, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma exudes plenty of rhubarb upfront, with crisp apple skins, and gentle acidity. Flavour is a little sweet but it’s complex, with intense rhubarb, gentle acidity, and apple skins. The rhubarb adds a wonderful juiciness. This is fantastic.
