Hiyu Wine Farm - Smockshop Band Cider (500 mL)
Hiyu Wine Farm - Smockshop Band Cider (500 mL)
Tasting Notes: Fruity, fresh, and floral aromatics. Juicy, oaky, and tart. Nice depth and character. Notes of apple skin, chamomile, oak, vanilla, candied lemon. Excellent natural cider with interesting depth and complexity. It’s extremely long with fine textured bubbles from the wild secondary fermentation and very complicated notes of spice, herbs and salted citrus.
Hiyu Wine Farm's Floreal Project. Floreal is a project to make wine from apples and pears in collaboration with a biodynamic orchard on the lower slopes of Mt. Hood. Hiyu currently makes five different ciders from unique blends of apples. Nivose is based on crabapples, Floreal is based on pre-industrial dessert apples, and Germinal is based on bittersharp apples. Smockshop is based on a blend of the many different sites & orchards' fruit. All of these ciders/wines are pressed in a basket press lined with biodynamic straw, aged for many years in barrel, often as soleras, and undergo a wild secondary fermentation in bottle before aging for many years on the lees of their secondary fermentation.
