Presque Isle Farm Cider - La Ferme (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider - La Ferme (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider's La Ferme Cider is made from a blend of French bittersweet cider apple varieties, fermented with Saison yeast, and aged in Calvados barrels. This cider drinks dry with bright apple and tropical fruit notes. Nice balancing tanins, and a great supporting floral quality from the use of saison yeast.
An excellent experiment in using classic French cider apples with a saison yeast. Highly recommend trying this alongside Proper Cider, which uses the same yeast with a blend of traditional English cider apples.
APPLES: 40% Michelin, 40% Reine de Pomme, 20% Nehou and Medaile d'Or.
Tasting Notes: Great aromatics - lightly tropical and floral, with whiffs of canned fruit cocktail. Dry and full bodied. Tropical notes of pineapple and citrus zest. Subtle bittersweet apple character shows up late with finishing notes of floral and citrus peel.

Located on the shores of Lake Huron in the Northeast corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, PIF is a labor of love owned & operated by Dion & Molly Stepanski - partners in business and in life. The cidery was launched as an extension of their growing organic farm in Alpena, Michigan. PIF's focus is on English style cider - made with apples sourced from small farms across northern Michigan.
