Keepsake Cidery - Driftless Dry Cider (750 mL)
Keepsake Cidery - Driftless Dry Cider (750 mL)
Keepsake Cidery's Driftless Cider series celebrates the Driftless Area - a topographic and cultural region in the Midwestern United States that spans parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. Born of a love of place - Nate & Tracy from Keepsake cidery live on the geological edge of this unique area. Left alone by glaciers, the Driftless area is full of bluff, springs, rivers and creeks. It has long held a special place in people's hearts. Over the years, they have found the orchards and apples there to share in the unique quality, so the Driftless series was started to showcases orchards and vintages of the Driftless area.
Driftless Dry is made from a blend of heirloom and orchard specific varietals from Badgersett Orchards in Southeast Minnesota. This idiosyncratic orchard was planted in the 1970s with the idea of cider in mind - beautiful old trees of Golden Russet, Roxbury Russet, Blue Pearmain, and even some seedlings combine for a unique American cider. Native yeast fermentation and bottled in the ancestral method (aka Pet Nat).
Tasting Notes: Dry (slightly off-dry) with tasting notes of limestone and tropical fruit basket, with slight woody herbs and balanced brightness. A yummy pet nat cider - crunchy, tart, and juicy.
Unfiltered and Unfined. As with all of Keepsake's ciders, this is made without anything added or anything removed - the only ingredient is the apples. No added sulfites or other additivies.
About Keepsake Cidery: From the Cannon Valley in Minnesota, Keepsake makes some of the finest ciders in the Midwest. Named after the Keepsake apple, which was developed locally by the University of Minnesota's Horticulture program. Head Cidermaker Nate Watters makes a range of dry-to-sweet ciders with fantastic character and flavor profiles - clearly inspired by great English ciders. Made using cider apple varieties grown on their own orchard and procured from other local farms in the area - most of which are organically grown. All of the ciders are fermented naturally with the native yeast living on the fruit, and without any additives (no added sugar, nutrients, sulfites, etc.).
