Description
Our ciders are made with the wild apples and pears that grow on Salt Spring Island, and with apples from regional orchards. We never add any water. Our process involves slow-fermenting single varieties and allowing each to mature until it has fully developed. The ciders are then carefully blended for complexity and depth of flavour; our Dry and Semi-Dry ciders are each blends of over 10 different apple varieties!  While the blending process is crucial (and arduous), the special character of our cider is due to the wealth of heritage cider apples that grow on Salt Spring, and to our commitment to making fully natural ciders. In general, you'll find that we tend to make our ciders quite dry, with delicate flavours (including our berry and plum ciders), and that's the way we like them!

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some spicy peppers, apple skins, and a touch of pineapples. Flavour is juicy sweet, with tons of pineapple, spicy peppers, and apple skins. Very sweet to match the spice. Nothing interesting but it's decent.
