Lassen Cider - Winesap (750 mL)
Lassen Traditional Cider's Winesap is a wild, barrel fermented, dry single-variety cider made 100% from Winesap apples.
The Winesap apple is an heirloom variety commonly said to have a vinous, or wine-like, flavor and has a long history of being used for cider. It was at one time a major commercial variety, especially in the southern states. It produces well in warmer climates, including California. All the apples used in this cider come from the Sierra foothills.
The cider is wild fermented to full dryness in neutral French oak red wine barrels. At bottling, a small amount of fresh juice is added so that the cider is naturally carbonated from bottle conditioning.
About Lassen Cider: Located in Chico, California near the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Ben Nielsen makes a range of traditional ciders made with apples unique to old orchards in Northern California, as well as apples sourced from famed cider orchards in California and Oregon. He specializes in dry, naturally made ciders - all fermented wild with native yeast, without any additives like sulfites, and without filtering. His ciders are raw and rustic, farmhouse style ciders. The cidery is named after the nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park; each cider blend is named for the orchard or location where the apples were harvested - offering a true taste of place.
