2022 Feral September

Apple

CA - California
Alcohol 8.5%
This is a wild yeast and barrel fermented cider. It's the first year we've let the cider go wild from this particular orchard, and we can report that it was a good choice. Another interesting thing about this batch was that we added to it over the course of the season. Each time the Wintzes brought us lovely apples, we'd crush them up and put them into the same barrel on top of the already fermenting cider. It was definitely an experiment, one that worked very well indeed, and one we will probably repeat. Toasty notes with lemon grass character, a velvety mouthfeel, and dry finish. Alcohol by volume: 8.5% Volume: 500ml Carbonation: low Apples: Gala, Granny Smith, Braeburn, Rhode Island Greening, and a bunch of other apples that are as yet unidentified. Pairings: Scones and clotted cream, orzo and arugula salad, ginger garlic chicken, and rhubarb upside down cake Label art by Dorian Katz aka Poppers the Pony

2023 Las Reinas Amargas

Apple

WA - Washington
Alcohol 6.8%
The Bitter Queens. These English apples decided they wanted to be a Spanish-style cider. Well, I guess we'll allow it. A mild volatile acidity, giving way to big apple flavors, with a soft oak finish. Though not exactly to style, the result is pleasing. Alcohol by volume: 6.9% Volume: 500ml Carbonation: low Apples: Porter's Perfection, Kingston Black, Harry Master's, Stokes Red, Dabinett from Washington Pairings: meaty paella, manchego cheese, basque cheesecake

2023 Crabby McCrabface

Apple

CA - San Luis Obispo County (Central Coast)
Alcohol 8.5%
Crabby McCrabface takes no prisoners and is not here to make you feel comfortable. While the flavor of a crab apple is difficult to enjoy in it's fresh form, it makes some of the most interesting juice for fermentation. Lots of acid, lots of tannin, and a lot of flavor. Dolgo Crab Apples are about an inch in diameter, more oval, deep garnet, and when pressed the juice comes out deep ruby. Transcendant Crab apples are a plump little morsels with yellow skin and pink cheeks that glow on the tree in the twilight. The resulting flavor of this cider is intense. You will feel that tartness climb into your scalp. Full-bodied with light carbonation, flavors reminiscent of pineapple, and earthy funky tannin in the finish. Alcohol by volume: 8.0% Volume: 500ml Carbonation: lightly carbonated Apples: 79% Dolgo Crab from SLO Creek Farm and 21% Transcendant Crab from Chelsea and Tim's in See Canyon in San Luis Obispo, CA Cases: 8 produced in 2022 Pairings: Tri-tip with salsa, a pipe or cigar, salted caramel pot-de-creme, blue cheese Label art by Sybil Lamb, @6ybillamb

Come what may, kumquats and cider belong together. Apples from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties were co-fermented with kumquats.

Alcohol by volume: 7.1% Volume: 500ml Carbonation: low Apples: Gala from Santa Barbara County, Braeburn, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith from SLO County Pairings: Brunch Label art by Sybil Lamb, @6ybillamb

2022 Darn Quincy

Other

CA - San Luis Obispo County (Central Coast)
Alcohol 8.5%
What is quince? Darn skimpy, is what! It's one of those weirdo fruits that we adore, even though they are not that easy to eat. As most varieties are rather woody, they need to be cooked first, which is why it is most often seen in dishes, desserts, and as condiments. When it is crushed and pressed, it releases the most fragrant and sticky of juices, all raspberry and roses with an almost oily, slick mouthfeel. These quince are grown on the Lewicki Ranch and Vineyard and were blended with heirloom and culinary apples from the same orchard. The cider is very fruity and bright. It retains those raspberry and rose notes from the quince and finishes dry. Alcohol by volume: 8.5% Carbonation: medium Volume: 500ml Fruit: 42% quince (varieties: Smyrna, Pineapple, Orange); 58% apples (Pink Lady, Arkansas Black, St. Cecilia's Pippin) Pairings: Bakewell tart or pudding, Spanish sheeps cheese, roast turkey with quince and pistachio stuffing

2022 Chez Baco

Apple

OR - Oregon
Alcohol 13.6%
We did it again. We made another ice-style cider. This time we aged it one month in Calvados barrels. For those of you not familiar with Calvados, it is a brandy made from fermented apple cider in the Calvados region of France. Chez Baco boasts passionfruit and pineapples notes, with the characteristic ice cider sweetness and balancing acidity. Spirited oak character imparted from the barrel adds toasty-brandy notes. Special occasion, housewarming, or just a night cap? You can finish the bottle with friends or pour a little for yourself, and store with a cork in the fridge to save the rest for another night. Alcohol by volume: 13.6% Volume: 375ml Carbonation: none (AKA still) Apples: 17.5% Northern Spy, 17.1% Roxbury Russet, 14.8% King David, 14.2% Mutsu, 11.4% Golden Russet, 10.8% Cortland, 6.8% Cox Orange Pippin, 4% Spitzenburg, 3.4% Gravenstein organically grown in Oregon Pairings: Vanilla pots de crème, after-dinner cheese plate (brie, blue, aged gouda), a soundtrack of crickets or frogs (pourquoi pas les deux ?) When we ran our Kickstarter in June 2020, Mr. Baco contributed at the highest level, rewarding him the opportunity to name a cider with us. Mr. Baco was particularing drawn to this style of cider. We went through about 20 permutations before settling on this one. It was a fun journey through Quebec, Ancient Greece, France, and finally ending in Seattle.

2022 Barrel and Botanical

Other

CA - Sonoma County
Alcohol 8.5%
This cider is a blend of heirloom and cider apples from Sonoma county, which we fermented in stainless steel and then barrel aged. It presented a beautiful minerality that complimented herbs so well we decided to add some. We were inspired by native sages one day on a hike and after smelling them all we decided to infuse the cider with mint, cardamom, coriander, bay leaf, and juniper berries. Think of it like a cider getting together with a barrel-aged gin. Sca-rumptious. Alcohol by volume: 8.5% Volume: 500ml Carbonation: low Apples: Gravenstein heavy blend from Gopher Glen, farm stand blend from Gopher Glen, Gala and Crimson Gold from Santa Barbara County. Pairings: Green salad, grilled shimp, margherita pizza, and Marlene says "Camembert drizzled with honey" Label art by Dorian Katz aka Poppers the Pony
