Gravenstein Applewine Cider (aka Summer-in-a Glass). Fresh Gravenstein apples tree-ripen in our heritage orchards, creating this rare Gravenstein varietal cider. Crisp, refreshing and fruit-forward— like a Gravenstein apple right off of the tree in summer. Discover notes of citrus, honey, melon, and jasmine. Balanced and not too sweet.
Fresh Gravenstein apples straight from the orchards craft this varietal cider, with notes of citrus, honey, jasmine, spice, melon. Imagine biting into your first summer apple, a tree-ripened Gravenstein from our sustainable family orchard.
​
Medium-dry. Balanced. Crisp, smooth and refreshing. Lightly sparkling, with medium body and a medium clean fresh finish. Enjoy lightly chilled. Pair with cheeses, including blue cheeses, citrus, salads, fresh herbs, pesto, seafood, orange, dark chocolate, and more. Make a cider mimosa with this easy recipe.
The Gravenstein apple is the favorite summer apple—juicy with the perfect balance of tanginess and sweet, and all out flavor. Great for pies, juice, and sauce. Called "Summer in a Glass" Gowan's Gravenstein cider is the perfect expression of this apple, like taking a bite out of a fresh picked apple, right from the tree.
