Orchard Cider

Our Orchard Cider is a delicious dry cider with a clear, luminous golden hue and a slight sparkle.  It is blended from a dozen heirloom cider varieties, such as Dabinett, Michelin, Yarlington Mill, and Harry Masters Jersey, all from our own trees.  It has mild tannins, a deep, textured taste of apple and an aroma of cedar and spice. With a luscious look that recalls a butternut squash, Orchard Cider has an integrated, nuanced and complex aroma that hints of clove, cedar and blossoms.  It has well-balanced complexity, full-bodied flavor and soft tannins, finishing off with a lingering gentle heat.

Much commercial cider is made from sweet apples – the kind you find in the grocery store – but our cider is from heirloom British and French cider varieties, which you don’t find in a grocery store but have been bred specifically to make the best ciders on excellent soils. Our Orchard Cider thus is a dry and complex cider that is terrific now and will also continue to mature for the next couple of years, like a fine wine in your cellar.

Orchard has taken home various prizes. Nick prefers dry ciders, so this has been his favorite.
