This dry cider is a blend of heirloom, bittersweet, bittersharp, sharp, and wild seedling apples.  Clean and crisp, with green apple, citrus and passionfruit on the nose.  White flowers, mineral and slate come through on the palate, finishing with chalky tannins and an edge of mouthwatering acidity.  An incredibly generous pairing partner, this cider will enliven poultry, ham, squash bisques, and sharp cheeses.
