VISTA RIDGE 

AROMA & FLAVOR


Aromas of ripe apple, nutmeg, cardamom, and leather. Tastes of : Brown sugar and leather balanced with a fruity acidity, smooth

tannin profile, and delicate hints of baking spices on the finish.


APPLE VARIETIES


A robust list of traditional cider apples (such as Kingston Black, Yarlington Mill, and Amere de Berthecort) grown and mindfully tended by our friends at Vista Ridge Orchard in Quilcene, WA.


CIDERMAKER NOTES


This cider is the first of our 'traveling,' estate-based bottles that feature cider apples grown at local orchards we love. The apples in this release come from a single orchard in Quilcene, WA called Vista Ridge and this fermentation features their first significant harvest of bittersweets and bittersharps. With indigenous yeast naturally present in the fruit, and a bottle conditioned bubble, this cider is a superb taste of place and of the elements of the Olympic Peninsula.


SERVING SUGGESTIONS


A delightful food cider, dry and expressive on its own, Vista Ridge finds good company in creamy, sweeter cheeses, salami, sausages, and other aged meats. A special treat with a clam linguine, or a perfect compliment to a fresh rolled falafel sandwich.Serve at cellar temperature, 52-56f.
