Alpenfire Cider - Tempest (750 mL)
Alpenfire Cider's Tempest is a winter-warmer cider, steeped in seasonal spices and suitable for enjoying chilled or warmed up. Either way it's a delicious slow sipper.
Made from a base cider featuring a blend of Yarlington Mill, Dabinett, and Golden Russet apples. The finished cider is blended with a bit of Eau de Vie (young apple brandy) and then aged in barrels for 2 years. Before bottling it is gently steeped with winter seasonal spices. The result is a 12% ABV cider made for sipping during the coldest of months as the orchard sleeps. Would also be fantastic in a mug, cozied up around a campfire during warmer months.
We've enjoyed this cider slightly chilled (just below room temperature, remove from fridge 15+ minutes before serving). Also fantastic warmed up (gently warm in a small pot, serve as it begins to steam - avoid boiling).
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.
