      Naturally Sparkling Cider

      Batch: 16 (2016 harvest)

      Style: méthode champenoise, extra dry, cultured yeast, riddled, disgorged

      Apples: Cortland, Sharon, Fireside

      Some of you may remember, 2016 was a very dry year here in the northeast. It made for a challenging growing season for some of us, but some varieties came out surprisingly well, with very high brix and very concentrated flavors. The three varieties that made up this vintage were a very unusual blend for me. It is well aged at the time of release (June 2019), very low sulfite and I doubt it will improve with further aging, so if you are sitting on a bottle, enjoy.
