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.

Pours clear blonde, small soap-like 'foam'. Scent is quince, apple, quite a sweet impression - but natural sweetness. Taste is surprisingly dry (!) and even slightly tart, not at all sweet. Quince definately has the upperhand. Mild carbonation over a slightly oily mouthfeel. For my own taste, this is to astrigent, but I do love the quince aroma and slight acidity. A nice replacer for a simple applejuice, bringing a lot more complexity.
