Cider Maker’s Description
Carefully farmcrafted and fermented with a blend of homegrown Finnriver orchard organic cider apples and white wine yeast in stainless steel tanks. Once the fermentation is complete, we cask the cider in rye whiskey barrels for 5 months to impart depth and character. This award-winning cider was inspired by legendary PNW cidermaker Drew Zimmerman, whose mentorship and cider apple trees helped us establish our orchard.
