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.

Tasting at Matt's, synthetic cork; batch 012016, vintage 2016
Bright amber-copper colour. Nice aroma of apples, caramel, touch of hazelnuts. Very sweet, but balanced by the acidity level; stewed apples, hint of cinnamon, melon, lemon, touch of walnuts and some astringency.
Lovely.

375mL bottle, pours a clear caramel colour, no head. Nose brings out caramelized apples, toffee, and brown sugar, with a bit of sherry. Flavour reveals lots of stewed apples, with light sherry, oak tannins, subdued brown sugar, and caramelized apples. Oaky, tannic, dry, but very complex, making very good use of the apples. This is excellent.
