Raging Cider & Mead - Samataguma Valley (500 mL)
Raging Cider & Mead - Samataguma Valley (500 mL)
Raging Cider's Samataguma Valley is a very limited, small batch cider (only 10 cases made), made from a dry field blend of mostly bittersweet apples from the first sizable harvest of an orchard planted and managed by Raging in Guatay, California - an unincorporated area in the Cuyamaca Mountains, in the Mountain Empire area of southeastern San Diego County.
It is light, with that mild bittersweet funk and soft tannins associated with bitersweets. The cider apple varieties are as follows: Nehou, Yarlington Mill, Muscat de Bernay, Reine de Pomme, Campfield, Fillbarrel, Kingston Black, Burford Redflesh, Harrison, Black Twig, Winesap, Collaos, Geneva Tremletts, Golden Russet.
About Raging Cider & Mead Company: Head cider maker Dave Carr makes a range of excellent cider, perry, mead, wine, and coferments in partnership with his family at their San Diego based cidery. Their ciders are all made with locally sourced fruit and honey from San Diego County - very rare amongst cideries in the area, most of which primarily use juice brought in from near and far. Dave and his family forage apples and pears and help manage several orchards throughout San Diego County. The many mountains and canyons just east of San Diego on the way to Julian, California are an abundant source of interesting fruit. The unique growing conditions of these mountains often result in higher levels of acid as well as higher sugar content (and thus higher alcohol). Dave uses natural fermentation methods (wild fermentation via native yeast) on the fruit for all of his ciders. Between the cidermaking style and the unique qualities of the fruit, these small batch ciders are all one of a kind.
