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.

Bottle (thanks marduk). Pale yellow. Aroma is apples, some sourness. Flavor is sour, sweet, apples. Body is watery, carbonation is low. Overall: not offending, but rather bad. I actually like still ciders, but this doesn’t have enough character to be enjoyable. It has the typical Jaanihanso flavors, but they doesn’t work in still cider. Not sure how much similarity there is to actual Asturian stuff, but I suspect not much.

75cl bottle. Pours pale golden with a white head that disappears within seconds. Ripe apples with some wooden notes in the aroma, feels a bit matured and vinous. Rather dry with acidic apple flavours and acidic aftertaste. Almost fizzy, but quite enjoyable. More towards the sparkling wine with apple flavours than the fresh cider. Enjoyable.

375 ml corked & caged green "champagne" bottle, vintage 2015, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.5%. Pale yellow colour, pours sparkling with a shortlived white head. Aroma of cider apples and dessert apples, hints of oak and sulphites. Very dry flavour of cider apples, tart and slightly astringent. Sulphites in the finish.
