2024 WINTER RELEASES
WINESAP
Our Winesap cider is a semi-sweet delight, showcasing the distinctive character of this heirloom apple. It begins with the bold flavor of fresh apple skin, complemented by warm notes of mulling spice. The cider’s gentle sweetness is balanced by a crisp finish, creating a harmonious and inviting experience.
ORCHARD BLEND
Our Orchard Blend cider is a semi-dry fusion of fresh fruit and spice. Bursting with bright citrus notes, it mellows into the smooth sweetness of ripe pear. Warm hints of mulling spice round out the profile, creating a perfectly balanced cider with a clean, semi-dry finish that lingers with subtle complexity.
ALBEMARIE PIPPIN
Our Albemarle Pippin cider is a dry, single variety cider, crafted to highlight its bright and aromatic character. It opens with vibrant notes of zesty lemon, followed by delicate undertones of orange blossom. A whisper of lilac adds a soft floral complexity, all leading to a refreshingly clean, dry finish.
CHERRY RESERVE
Our Cherry Barrel Reserve Cider is a semi-sweet blend of crisp apples and vibrant cherries, gently aged in bourbon barrels. The infusion of ripe cherries adds a burst of bright fruit flavor, while the subtle hints of bourbon from the barrel provide a smooth, rounded finish. Light traces of vanilla and spice complement the natural sweetness, creating a balanced cider with a touch of warmth and depth.
2024 SUMMER RELEASES
HARRISON
The Harrison apple is arguably the best cider variety America has ever produced. In 1817, William Coxe called it “the most celebrated of cider apples in New Jersey.” Our Harrison cider is single variety cider and dry with a complex profile. It features notes of crisp pear, fragrant honeysuckle, subtle hints of comforting banana bread, and culminates in a satisfyingly dry finish.
GOLD RUSH
GoldRush is a recent American apple from Purdue University, named for its color and the rush of flavor it offers. Our Goldrush cider is a single variety and semi-dry with a citrus-forward profile. It features notes of grapefruit and has a refreshing finish.
HEIRLOOM
Our Heirloom Blend cider is a carefully selected blend of four varieties, offering a semi-sweet profile with bright flavors of lemon and grapefruit, complemented by notes of honey and a subtle vinous character.
STRAWBERRY MINT
Infused with locally sourced mint and ripe strawberries, ths cider delivers a refreshing flavor profile. Perfect for mixing into a strawberry mojito or savoring on its own, this cider offers a delightful balance of sweetness and herbal notes.
