Blend of rare, feral English, French, and Old American tannic and heirloom cider apples, including Nehou, Muscat de Bernay, Porter’s Perfection, Yarlington Mill, Foxwhelp, Tremlett’s Bitter, and Roxbury Russet. Organically grown in Sonoma County. Pressed during the 2014 harvest, fermented to dryness, blended, aged, and bottle conditioned in 2015 using organic cane sugar as dosage. A bone-dry, earthy, dense, savory, contemplative cider more reminiscent of wild meadow than of apples. Hazy, golden hue. Unfined, unfiltered, unpasteurized, minimal sulfites. Naturally sparkling. Dry, tannic, savory, herbal, citrusy, with long finish. Chill well prior to opening, and pour carefully off the lees. Serve at 55°F in a white wine glass. Pair with well-aged cheese, pork, Dungeness crab, lamb, roasts, hearty seasonal fare.
