Hiyu Germinal Cider

Grape: Redfield, Brown’s, Summerset Redstreak, and Brown Snout
Vintage: NV
Type: Cider

This is the first release of a cider made from true cider varieties: bittersharp apples including Redfield, Brown’s, Summerset Redstreak, and Brown Snout. It is pressed in a basket press directly to barrel where it ferments and ages untopped for a year. We then use the next year's cider to create a wild secondary fermentation in the bottle. This cider is bronzed peach in color, the texture of the bubbles is utterly delicate. Subtle and refined texturally with a complex floral overtone and aromas of elderberry and blackberry that weave in and out of citrus evocations./p>
