Shawnee Hill Farm - Estate Sparkling Cider (750 mL)

Shawnee Hill Farm (Vashon Island, Washington)

Shawnee Hill Farm's Estate Reserve Cider is a sparkling cider made in the Traditional Method (aka Methode Champeniose, the same labor intensive process used to make champagne).  

This 2021 vintage (year fruit was harvested) is a blend of high acid, aromatic cider apples including Golden Russet, Harrison, Wickson Crab, and Ashmead's Kernel. The cider is fermented dry, then a secondary fermentation in bottle. It was then rested and aged on the lees for nearly 4 years before the cider was disgorged (the process of releasing the lees, or spent yeast, out of the bottle form the secondary fermentation) and then dosaged with a dash of pommeau to finish the cider. 

About Shawnee Hill Farm: Located on Vashon Island in Washington State, just a short ferry boat ride from Seattle. The small village and remote island of Vashon is home to dozens of organic farms and a robust cider community - there are three commercial cideries and dozens of excellent home cider makers on the island. Stephen and Jenna Buffington bought the property their farm now resides on more than 20 years ago, and have spent two decades building and growing their farm, orchard, and vineyard. They've planted 100s of fruit and nut trees as well as two vineyards on the property, where they now make cider, wine, and spirits. After years of working with another cidery on the island, Stephen launched Shawnee Hill Farm's commercial cidery & winery in 2022. We first bumped into Stephen pouring his pommeau at the Farmer's Market on the island - it was one of the finest American made pommeaus we'd ever tried. We're thrilled to be able to bring his delightful ciders and pommeau off the island and into your glass.

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.
