Keepsake Cidery - Chestnut & Ellis Bitter (750 mL)

Keepsake Cidery - Chestnut & Ellis Bitter (750 mL)
Keepsake Cidery's Chestnut & Ellis Bitter cider is a dual-varietal cider made from a blend of Chestnut Crab apples and Ellis Bitter apples. A special release from Keepsake, Chestnut & Friends features the rare & delightful Chestnut Crab, blended with another prized apple variety. Chestnut Crab is native to Keepsake's home state of Minnesota, and is a crab apple known for its large, sweet, and nutty flavored fruit. This blend also features Ellis Bitter, a bitter-sharp cider apple variety with UK origins.
Fermented spontaneously and with no added sulfites. The result is a dry cider with medium plus acidity and a quick sour kick. Flavor notes of green apple, apple skin, plum, melon, and a bit of lees. Spanish cider fans would love this cider.
As with all of Keepsake's ciders, this is made without anything added or anything removed - the only ingredient is the apples.
Pairs with: Fried dishes, charcuterie, duck, lamb, pasta, oysters, cheese of all kinds, really anything.
About Keepsake Cidery: From the Cannon Valley in Minnesota, Keepsake makes some of the finest ciders in the Midwest. Named after the Keepsake apple, which was developed locally by the University of Minnesota's Horticulture program. Head Cidermaker Nate Watters makes a range of dry-to-sweet ciders with fantastic character and flavor profiles - clearly inspired by great English ciders. Made using cider apple varieties grown on their own orchard and procured from other local farms in the area - most of which are organically grown. All of the ciders are fermented naturally with the native yeast living on the fruit, and without any additives (no added sugar, nutrients, sulfites, etc.).
