Snow Capped Cider - Elevation Gravenstein
Snow Capped Cider - Elevation Gravenstein
Snow Capped Cider's Elevation Series Gravenstein is a stunning semi-sweet cider.
Gravenstein apples are well known pretty broadly compared to many other cider apple varieties. This remarkably fresh apple presents the most unique aromatic and enchanting flavor. This cider is made from a blend of 90% Gravenstein, 5% Roxbury Russet, and 5% Newtown Pippin apples - all grown on Snow Capped's high elevation estate orchard on Colorado's Western Slope.
We were lucky to get our hands on a couple cases of this gem, which is otherwise exclusively available to Snow Capped's cider club or when visiting their tasting room. Due to it's limited availability, this cider is not eligible for discounts.
This cider has won some serious hardware, with this specific batch winning Best in Class Gold medals at GLINTCAP in both 2024 and 2025; also winning Platinum awards at the Cidercraft Magazine awards in 2024 and 2025.
About Snow Capped Cider: Kari Williams' family has owned the orchards she now manages for more than 5 generations - though she's the first to use the apples for cider. Snow Capped Cider is crafted at an impressive elevation of 6,130 feet, making it one of the highest-elevation orchards and cideries in the world. Nestled at the base of the Grand Mesa - the largest flat-topped mountain in the world - on Colorado’s Western Slope. Their unique terroir benefits from high altitude, warm days, cool nights, and gravity-fed mountain water - which impacts the fruit in such a way that makes for excellent ciders. Their cider apples are grown exclusively in Colorado, adhering to traditional English and French orchard practices. Committed to sustainability, they craft high-quality ciders using sustainable farming practices, making Snow Capped Cider a zero-waste company.
Snow Capped has been on an impressive run the last few years at various Cider competitions, winning several awards for many of their recent releases.
