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.

Can @home. Dorata limpida, schiuma bianca leggera, non molto persistente. Al naso note di mela e frutta a pasta bianca, leggero vinoso. In bocca è leggermente abboccata, con acidità presente ma non eccessiva, buon bilanciamento, astringenza quasi assente. Corpo leggero, carbonazione media. Non male davvero.

375ml bottle (2016). Pours a hazed, almost murky brownish pink, good spritz. Nicely sweet, but definitely showing its age after 8 years, caramelised fruit, distant leather, rose petals, red berries.. not bad for such an old cider.

2016. Quite delectable. It's amazing that the n/a version is almost as good.
