Raging Cider & Mead - Hyslop Single-Varietal Cider (500 mL)
Raging Cider & Mead - Hyslop Single-Varietal Cider (500 mL)
A lightly carbonated, off-dry single-varietal Hyslop Crabapple cider which was barrel-fermented & aged on the lees for over a year. These early harvested crabapples have a good acidity with deep red apple notes, leathery tannins, and a balancing residual sweetness. Bold at first sip with grippy tannins that mellow out slowly.
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.
