Presque Isle Farm Cider - Proper Cider (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider's Proper Cider is made from a blend of English bittersweet and bittersharp apple varieties, fermented with Saison yeast, and aged in Calvados barrels. The result is a delightful dry cider, bold in tannins, with notes of ripe apple, fruity characteristics, and hints of apricot.
Tasting Notes: Citrusy, floral, and apple forward aromatics. This cider drinks dry with nice tannins and supporting acidity. Rich apple profile, with prominent orange flavor notes - orange peel, orange marmalade. Supporting flavor notes of clove, stone fruit, floral, crisp minerality. Astringent finish, with tannins drying out the cider to a bone dry profile.
An excellent experiment in fermenting classic English cider apples with a saison yeast. Highly recommend trying this alongside La Ferme Cider, which uses the same yeast with a blend of traditional French cider apples.
This cider is featured in the Press Then Press Cider Club's recent release. Join now to get this delicious cider along with a mix of other single-varietal ciders.
