South Hill Cider - Goldwin (750 mL)
South Hill Cider - Goldwin (750 mL)
South Hill Cider's Goldwin is a dry, still cider (uncarbonated) made with a blend of 45% Golden Russet, 42% Baldwin, and 13% Newtown Pippin apple varieties. Inspired by the great Burgundian white wines and leaning on ages of winemaking tradition this is a blend of two American heirloom apple varieties indigenous to the Northeast. One of South Hill's most popular ciders.
Fermented in 6+ year-old French Oak François Freère barrels and stainless steel.
TASTING NOTES: Papaya, underripe strawberry, beeswax, citrus pith, creamy mouthfeel. Aromas of vanilla.
Vintage: 2023 (harvest year). Previous vintages had a slightly different ratio of the apple blend - we're impressed with how Steve continues to dial in some of his cider blends to achieve such excellent balance and delicious flavor profiles in his ciders.
About South Hill: South Hill Cider is located in Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York - an area highly regarded for it's orchards and vineyards, and one of the premier cider making regions in the U.S. All of the apples used in South Hill's ciders are organic; most are now grown on their own orchard - though they still source fruit from other nearby orchards, as well as a few wild growing trees they forage fruit from. Their ciders are all naturally / wild fermented using the native yeast living on the fruit and in the cidery. South Hill makes an excellent mix of dry to semi-dry ciders, mostly sparkling plus a few of our favorite still ciders, and some of the best pommeau (apple mistelle) made in America. Head cider maker Steve Selin is a long time musician - many of their ciders have a name that pays homage to his musical roots.
