Keepsake Cidery - Orchard Reserve Dry Cider (750 mL)

Keepsake Cidery - Orchard Reserve Dry Cider (750 mL)
Keepsake Cidery's Orchard Reserve Dry cider is a blend featuring high acid and aromatic apple varieties like Golden Russet, Grimes Golden, Arkansas Black, Gold Rush, Keepsake, and Chestnut Crabapples; blended with a smaller percentage of bittersweet apple varieties for a soft background of tannins (including Dabinett and Ellis Bitter).
Keepsake makes two ciders with this big blend, one Dry and one with medium sweetness. This dry version of the cider is spontaneously fermented with no filtration or added sulfites. Bottled in the Pet Nat method for a natural & light sparkle. Slightly off-dry with medium-plus acidity and medium-minus tannins. Nice body to this cider, carried by the mouthwatering acidity. Citrusy and slightly sour. Notes of green apple, candy lemon, lime zest, and orange peel, and a touch of yeast notes. The bittersweet apples carry some sweetness through the palate.
As with all of Keepsake's ciders, this is made without anything added or anything removed - the only ingredient is the apples.
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.).
