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.
