Golden Russet is a unique American cider/culinary apple - it's been called the Champagne Apple" - a bit ugly to look at but ferments beautifully. It's my favorite single varietal cider. Un-oaked, aged 11 months in neutral tank, soft acidity and notes of tropical fruit.
We'll have our cyser (honey and cider co-ferment) Honey Thief for you two ways this year: first, our 2021 vintage made with Rome Beauty, Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples, double-fermented with Goodflow Texas honey, then backsweetened with the honey from our estate hives, which are lovingly maintained by local beekeeping extraordinaires, Two Hives Honey. Second, an Estate Cyser (honey used is all from our hives), aged two years in ex-Pinot Noir barrel, 11% and only 22 cases
