Farmstead Cider - Mountain Dry Cider (750 mL)

Farmstead Cider - Mountain Dry Cider (750 mL)
Farmstead Cider's Mountain Dry is a refreshing, bubbly, and easy drinking blend of dessert apple varieties. The bright acidity is balanced well with apple aromas, and the sugar has completely fermented away leaving a dry hard cider that is perfect for both warm summer days and cold winter nights. This Mountain Dry 2024 vintage is a blend of Newtown Pippin and Jonagold apples. Native yeast (wild) fermentation, then aged in oak barrels for 3-6 months. No residual sugars or added sulfites.
Tasting Notes: Nice aromatics of tart green apples. This is a dry cider with a nice body to it. Medium plus acidity and low tannins. Notes of apple skin, lemon spritz, and tart candy. Fresh apple fruitiness lends some perceived sweetness at first sip. Tart juiciness, a gentle sparkle, and crisp minerality cleanses the palate for a dry crabapple-like finish. Awesome Newtown Pippin character.
About Farmstead Cider: Farmstead Cider was founded because the many decorative crab apple trees growing in backyards around the Jackson Hole community were becoming a problem. The apples on the ground would ferment and attract wildlife of all kinds to feast on these sweet treats Unfortunately, when someone steps out of their front door and sees a bear munching away on boozy apples, that can lead to a major problem for both the person and the bear. Farmstead's solution? Remove the apples! Then they discovered how wonderful many of those high-altitude crab apples are for making hard cider. Farmstead now harvests apples all around Jackson Hole, helping to protect wildlife and apple trees while making small-batch hard ciders that reflect their wild home. Farmstead's ciders are fermented to dry using wild/native yeast, often with some oak barrel aging, and without any added sulfites or any other refining agents. Natural cider. Save Bears, Drink Cider!
