APPLE VARIETIES

Fermented from a blend of Finnriver grown organic Golden Russet apples and organic Golden Russet apples from our friends at Ironroot Orchards.

CIDERMAKER NOTES

This harvest season was a good one for the Golden Russet apple and we were spoiled for choice in the cidery. We carefully hand-picked our favorite bins of apples for this year's vintage of our Orchard Series Golden Russet. Two primary fermentations were done in separate fermenters. One using a traditional Sauvignon Blanc strain of wine yeast and the other a wild fermentation with the native yeasts that came in on the fruit from the Finnriver orchard. After fermentation the ciders were blended and allowed to age at cellaring temperatures for 3 months prior to bottling.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Pour into a flute for fun and a bit more to chew on than champagne, bring to a fall picnic and pair with cured sausages, smoked cheeses, dried apricots and a kiss from your sweetheart.
