Greenwood Cider - Natural Cider (500 mL)
Greenwood Cider's Natural is a release unlikey any other from Greenwood, and one of their best cider releases to date.
Natural is the first ever release from Greenwood fermented naturally - meaning wild fermented with native yeast living on the fruit and in their cidery. They've played with many different yeasts in the past (Three Raspberry Saison, Cosmic Kveik, wild oak-fermented Sidra style draft releases to name a few), but to date had not been willing to take a chance on using a native yeast to ferment their cider apples, which cost 15 times more for than our standard apples. It was a bargain and it paid off!
Native/wild yeast ferments are nothing new. Many local and regional cidermakers employ this technique. In the old world it's probably more common than not. Regardless, this is the culmination of Greenwood's long journey to make a simple yet delicious cider. A select blend of heirloom and cider apples fermented wild, leaving a pleasant residual sweetness. The terroir of the western Cascade foothills lends a rich, smooth, and earthy apple aroma.
Get it while you can - only 38 cases produced, and we snagged just 3 of them!
About Greenwood Cider: Founded in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle in 2015, Greenwood Cider turn waste into resource by making cider from forgotten and foraged fruits picked from around the city and deep within the Pacific Northwest forest. That approach continues today. In addition to the more standard Washington apples, they use apples from local farms, small homesteads, and abandoned orchards. Greenwood Cider presses the fruit and crafts all of their small batch ciders in the Seattle city limits - which is unique compared to the larger brands that buy truckloads of juice and fruit purees to manufacture their ciders. It's an uncompromising blend of modern tastes and traditional cider-making. Their cider releases range from traditional ciders made with cider specific and heirloom apple varieties, to modern style ciders that are lower in complexity and flavored with other fruits and botanicals. They're one of a small number of cideries that make a wide range of many different cider styles very well.
