Fresh heirloom apples straight from the orchards craft a cider tribute to our family’s first apple harvest in 1876. This classic French inspired-style cider captures the ripe apple aromatics of harvest time, plus rich earthiness, florals, honey and stone fruit.  This select blend of fresh heirloom apples tree-ripen in our heritage orchards, creating this classic traditional cider. Refreshing and crisp with luscious layers of ripe apple. Discover notes of caramel, stone fruit and rose. Enjoy lightly chilled. Pair with pasta, savory, spicy, and chocolate dishes. 

 

Medium-dry. Lightly sparkling, this cider is smooth, crisp and refreshing with a medium finish.

Over a dozen special kinds of apples were selected for this proprietary cuvée.  Each variety contributes to complexity, flavor, tannin and acid making for an exceptionally balanced layers of flavor and a classic cider.
