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.

37,5cl bottle (Vintage 2016) bought at Jaanihanso. Pours clear pale golden without a lasting head. Ripe apples with some yeasty notes and hints of barnyard. Rather dry, flavourful and almost fizzy. Quite refreshing, but a bit high carbonation.
