750 mL bottle of Mount Diablo Cider Company Delta Gold

Cider made from a blend of wild foraged Dabinett, Blue Pearmain, Golden Russet, and Yarlington Mill apples. Hand harvested from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, slow fermented, barrel aged, bottle conditioned, racked, riddled, and disgorged in the Champenoise Method.

Delta Gold is a blend of classic English bittersweet apples and American heirloom varietals selected specifically for their contributions in producing an excellent, full bodied, vintage quality cider. The two varietals primarily responsible for depth of flavor, length, body and nose of this blend are the Dabinett and Golden Russet apples.

Tasting Notes: Flavors & aromas are very complex and well defined showing distinct layers from drying flowers and herbs (lemon verbena, chamomile, fennel fronds, rose petals, and lychee nut) at the fore, followed by a round waxiness reminiscent of beeswax on the nose and honeycomb on the palate. A complex nuttiness of browned butter and saline richness, like that of Castelvetrano olives. Acidity is high but soft, comparable to crème frâche or yogurt and textures again creamy with very small persistent bubbles and a beautiful saffron- tinged gold color.

Mount Diablo Cider Company is a locally owned, husband and wife, small, boutique cidery specializing in small batch, premium hard cider produced in the Traditional Method using heirloom apple varieties of the San Francisco Bay Area. Apples of the San Francisco Bay Area are unique to the terroir in which they grow and the people who cultivate them. Each apple has its own story to tell and Mount Diablo Cider has dedicated itself to bottling these stories and bringing them to you for your sipping enjoyment.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.

Orders can be picked up for free at Makeda & Mingus, a coffee shop and community space in the Greenwood neighborhood. They are open everyday from 7AM-5PM. Orders are made available for pickup within 1-3 days.
