Alpenfire Cider - Farmhouse Cider (750 mL)
Alpenfire Cider's Farmhouse Cider is an orchard medley, blended for the balance & mellowness that you only get from well matured cider which is so rare in today’s cider world.
Made from a blend of Foxwhelp, Muscadet de Dieppe, Kingston Black & Dabinett apples from Alpenfire's estate orchard, fermented with a mixture of native yeast & champagne yeast. Porter's Perfection & Winesap apples were fermented separately, exclusively with champagne yeast. Later blended, then left for an extended stainless maturation & simple racking for clarity and leaving a golden effervescent cider.
Dry, mellow, and easy to drink. It pours golden yellow with a light crown of bubbles. Campfire, apple peel, and ripe melon on the nose. Tasting notes of apple skin, cherry, twiggy apple stems. A crisp and dry finish with great tannic structure. Versatile enough to pair with all your favorite foods, or to share glasses with all your favorite people.
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?".
