FINNRIVER CIDER FAMILY | Core

CIDERMAKER NOTES

A nose of sweet apple provides a soft introduction to this crisp, earthy hard cider. Unfiltered and farmcrafted, Farmstead is an expression of over fifty varieties of locally and community-harvested apples. Each October, Finnriver invites our Olympic Peninsula neighbors to gather their apples for this annual fermentation. Grown by our friends and pressed with gratitude, these apples are fermented with both classic wine and wild yeast strains, creating a cider with a kaleidoscope of apple-forward flavors balanced by bright acidity and a gentle tannic finish. Semi-Sweet.

SUGGESTED PAIRINGS

Sip solo or with woodfired pizza, polenta, burgers, or corn on the cob. Funky cheeses and an apple-centric charcuterie also harmonize well with Farmstead.

APPLE VARIETIES

Organic Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Wolf River, Bramley’s Seedling, Tom Putt, Valentine, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Melrose, Macoun, Dayton, Hudson’s Golden Gem, and many other unidentified community-harvested varieties.
