Vineyard Notes
8th Generation Orchard Locations: Naramata Bench & Summerland Lakefront
Production Notes
Picked at full ripeness, pressed at our neighbours (Summerland Heritage Cider Co.) as our winemaking equipment can't process hard apples. The apple juice started the fermentation right away at our winery in stainless steel tanks.
Winemaker Notes
A slow fermentation of Gala & Spartan apples together with Riesling grapes, result in a flavourful yet dry cider. YES, this cider co-fermented with some of our Riesling grapes. A soft sparkle on the tongue, lots of lime & green apple on the nose, but also an unmistakable lively nod towards Riesling on the palate. Aged for 3 months in a French Barrique-adds depth without heaviness.
Food Pairing Notes
Ideal match for charcuterie, cheese, or creamy pasta.
Production
Our ciders are ‘pur jus’, made from 100% fresh pressed apple juice and never from concentrate, made once a year- it’s a vintage product, just like wine. (No water, sugar or aroma is added).
Other Notes
Vegan & Gluten free.
The Gala & Spartan Apples are all Estate fruit from 8th Generation orchards/ farm lands.
