Mount Diablo Cider - Girl Named Sue (500 mL)
Mount Diablo Cider - Girl Named Sue (500 mL)
Mount Diablo Cider's Girl Named Sue is a single-varietal cider featuring Gravenstein apples from Sebastopol, California. Sonoma County Gravenstein apples are one of the single most significant apples & regional growing areas in the U.S.
This bottling is a passion project in pursuit to craft a cider that embodies the true nature and spirit of the West County Gravenstein - shaped by its terroir, guided by minimal intervention and inspired by Zero-Zero cider & wine making principles. Cider maker Thomas Henry has been working with this fruit for 13 years, and per his own account "has finally cracked the Gravenstein code where I’ve bottled the experience of biting into a ripe Sebastopol Gravenstein, true Gravenstein terrior."
It’s a Zero-Zero, natural cider, meaning nothing added and nothing removed - all that's in this bottle are apples and time. Wild fermented, and bottled as a Pet-Nat.
Tasting Notes: great apple aromatics with notes of waxy apple skins and freshly harvested Gravensteins. Slightly hazy (to be expected with a Pet Nat) and with a soft sparkle. This cider is dry and with excelent depth in character - rare for a Gravenstein cider. Sharp apple notes, slightly peppery, with thick apple skin flavors. Finishes deliciously dry, leaving you hankering for your next sip.
