Alpenfire Cider - Cinders - Rosé Methode Champenoise (750mL)

Alpenfire Cider - Cinders - Rosé Methode Champenoise (750mL)
This single-varietal rosé cider is made from the unique Airlie Red Flesh apples, which sport pale green skin with a watermelon-hued blush of the fruit within peeking through, giving this beautiful cider its color. Made in the methode champenoise style, this dry, sparkling cider is slowly fermented, bottle conditioned, and left to mature on the lees (yeast) for 15 months before disgorging. Zero residual sugar and 9 grams/liter total acidity. Festive bubbles make this excellent for celebratory toasts.
About Alpenfire Cider: Alpenfire was one of Washington State's first commercial cideries when they opened in 2006. For two decades since then, they've been very consistently releasing some of the finest craft ciders in North America. Alpenfire was also the first American cidery to obtain a certified organic designation. Their family's estate orchard in Port Townsend on the Olympic Penninsula includes around 1,000 English, French, and Heirloom apple trees. Operated by Bear and Nancy Bishop, and their son Phillipe - to the Bishop family organic is not an option but a necessity - a necessity that keeps them in touch with nature and helps to create the kind of future they want for their family and the planet.
Alpenfire is usually Erik's answer to the question "which cidery is your favorite?".
