Alpenfire Cider - Cortland (750 mL)
Alpenfire Cider's Cortland is a delightful, full bodied still cider made 100% from the Cortland apple. This rare apple is wonderful and finicky. At it's best it is vinous and rich, reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauvignoon Blanc. This batch was aged in rye barrels that had also been used to age mead from The Mead Works @ Wilderbee Farm. With it's full body, Alpenfire decided it didn't need to be carbonated. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
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?".
