Liberty Ciderworks - Stoke Red (750 mL)

Liberty Ciderworks - Stoke Red (750 mL)
Liberty Ciderworks' Reserve Series Stoke Red is a made from a blend of 85% Stoke Red apples, blended with a bittersweet apple blend that makes up the other 15% of the overall cider blend. Naturally fermented then barrel aged for 18 months.
One of the most intensely tannic ciders we've ever had from Liberty. Dry and high-tannins with a mild tartness. Apple skin forward with notes of quince, Mandarin orange, and citrus rind, backed with a pronounced oakiness from barrel aging.
First discovered in Rodney Stoke, a village three miles from Cheddar UK, the Stoke Red is a bittersharp apple favored in traditional English cider blends.
Liberty's Reserve Series ciders are small, nano-batch labors of love that are usually exclusive to Liberty's own Cider Club, or to enjoy in their tasting room. We're fortunate to get our hands on a small number of bottles from some of these releases - thank you to Rick, Jamie, and Ben for letting us have a few!
About Liberty Ciderworks: Liberty is one of the absolute best cider makers in the Pacific Northwest - and America for that matter. Based in Spokane, Washington, they gather nearly all of their fruit from three tiny, family-run orchards in Eastern Washington that grow apple varieties with cider in mind. Soil and climate play major roles, as do the native yeasts they allow to ferment their ciders. Employing “natural wine” methods in all of their ferments, Liberty never filters their ciders and allows each orchard’s native yeast to work its magic. Their approach is inspired by global styles and traditions, but reflects their own apples, landscape, and culture. It’s a philosophy expressed in everything they produce, and it’s one we think you’ll really enjoy. Most of their ciders will be particularly appealing to fans of English style ciders.
