Thrilling news from Gowan’s farm! 🍎🥂 Our Rosé Cider, crafted by our woman cidermaker at our woman-owned cidery, has dazzled at the International Women’s Wine Competition, earning an outstanding 98 points, plus Double Gold, Best of Class, and Best Cider awards! 🌟 Note: A Double Gold award means our Rosé Cider earned unanimous top ratings from every judge, a rare honor for the very best!

Did you know women buy 60% of all wine enjoyed at home? That’s why our PInot Rosé Cider’s win at this women-led competition is so special! Judged by an all-female panel of wine experts, the International Women’s Wine Competition picks beverages women love to sip and share.

This prestigious event celebrates the world’s finest wines and ciders, with top sommeliers, winemakers, and critics judging entries through meticulous blind tastings. Our Rosé Cider’s victory showcases its exceptional quality, crafted with heart in Anderson Valley.

“This competition gives women their own ‘voice’ in selecting wines they’ll enjoy,” says founder Debra Del Fiorentino. As a woman-owned cidery with a woman winemaker, Gowan’s is proud to celebrate this victory with wine and cider lovers like you!

From branch to bottle, our Rosé Cider blends organic estate-grown heirloom apples with local Anderson Valley Pinot Noir wine, aged in French oak, for a crisp, elegant sip that captures the unique terroir of our 150-year family farm—its sun-kissed orchards and rich soil. Every glass tells the story of seven generations of care and craftsmanship.
