FINNRIVER CIDER FAMILY | Orchard Series

STYLE | Traditional (Co-fermented) (Wood-aged)

CIDERMAKER NOTES 

Black Oak celebrates the bounty of our region through a co-fermentation of organic and wild-harvested apples and whole black currants from nearby Tahlequah Farms. Primary fermentation occurs slowly in cool conditions, stretching nearly two months before being racked and aged on a blend of French and American oak. Aromas of black currants, raspberries, and cherries deliver a soft sweetness that enhances its smooth tannins. Semi-sweet.

SUGGESTED PAIRINGS 

Black Oak’s red wine-adjacent versatility accompanies well-seasoned roasted poultry dishes, such as a fruit-glazed duck breast or turkey.
