Winesap, Arkansas Black and Cortland apples from the High Plains, pressed in our Cellar, co-fermented with wild dewberries from Free Fleeing Farms. Only 80 cases of this beaut. Notes of green tea, tobacco leaf and fresh raspberry.
Auguste Cerise arrives this Saturday, 8/20 to help us leave the Summer doldrums behind. Cooler days are coming, my friends! This year we're releasing two quite different iterations of Auguste Cerise: First, a 2021 vintage made with heirloom apples, and double fermented with Balaton and Montmorency sour cherries. Finished a click off bone dry. ABV 8.9% Second, we present to you the first in our Boxcar Series. The Boxcar ciders are all very small, one-off barrel aging projects. So named because our "Barrel Hall" is actually a series of refrigerated boxcar shipping containers, which you see when you visit the Cidery! (And also a reference to The Boxcar Children, naturally.) Boxcar Cerise is 2018 August Cerise laid down in Vino de Naranja casks. Vino de Naranja is a fortified Spanish wine made similarly to sherry but steeped with Seville oranges. Completely dry, slight effervescence, with herbal, toffee and brandied fruit notes. ABV 9.5%
