Snow Capped Cider - Porter's Perfection Single-Varietal (375 mL)
Snow Capped Cider - Porter's Perfection Single-Varietal (375 mL)
Snow Capped Cider's Porter's Perfection is a single-variety cider made 100% from Porter's Perfection apples grown at Snow Capped's high elevation estate orchard on Colorado's Western Slope.
Porter’s Perfection apples is a prized English cider apple - originally from Somerset, England and used in cider as early as 1844. Its yellow, greenish skin with stripes of red, thick stems and the creamy flesh is naturally acidic. These apples commonly grow fused together in lumps of 2-3 apples.
This vintage from Snow Capped is dry and slightly acidic with low astringency followed by bright notes of lemon peel, plum skin, minerality, and a gooseberry undertone.
GLINTCAP, CiderCraft Magazine, and Good Food Award Winner.
About Snow Capped Cider: Kari Williams' family has owned the orchards she now manages for more than 5 generations - though she's the first to use the apples for cider. Snow Capped Cider is crafted at an impressive elevation of 6,130 feet, making it one of the highest-elevation orchards and cideries in the world. Nestled at the base of the Grand Mesa - the largest flat-topped mountain in the world - on Colorado’s Western Slope. Their unique terroir benefits from high altitude, warm days, cool nights, and gravity-fed mountain water - which impacts the fruit in such a way that makes for excellent ciders. Their cider apples are grown exclusively in Colorado, adhering to traditional English and French orchard practices. Committed to sustainability, they craft high-quality ciders using sustainable farming practices, making Snow Capped Cider a zero-waste company.
Snow Capped has been on an impressive run the last few years at various Cider competitions, winning several awards for many of their recent releases.
