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.

2018 vintage. Pours unclear , pale yellow. Scent is rhubarb, fairly refined, yet very raw, natural, and strong . Taste is very spiced, rhubarb, but loads more flavor, even sweetness, rather than the sourness I expected. Way less dry than the Abavas Rhubarb Cider I had 2 days ago. Carbonation level is comparable to a nice champagne. Easy drinker with more than decent aroma's and textures.

Pours clear, dark blonde to amber. Scent is very intense, thick, full on apples. Highly dense. Taste is very full, apples, sweet, but with a good amount of fruitsourness as well. Intense on the (funky) green apple side. Appleskins as well. noticibly tart for the style, but it does work very well indeed.

2016 bottle. Rosé color with white head. Aroma is funky apples, red berries too. Taste is cinnamon-y blackcurrant, funky apples, leathery, surprisingly dry finish considering this is supposedly medium dry. Foamy carbonation. Good!
