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 @ Tim's. Pours cloudy yellow, not much carbonation there. Nose is full of barnyard funk, dry and cheesy. Some apple peels. Taste is also quite dry, lots of barnyard funk there as well, sweaty horseblanket. Body feels thin and not too tart, easily drinkable. Dry lightly bitter linger, bitter apple peel. Quite liking it.

Funky, barnyard, dry nose with a touch of oak. Thin, barnyards mouth with modest tannins. Mouth falls off a bit because it’s so dry. Lingering oak and apple finish.
