Northern Spy Barrel-Aged Ice Cider by Eden Specialty Ciders

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Liquid gold. Really. This single-variety ice cider is made using the Northern Spy apple, a famous NY early-1800s variety prized for baking. Its zingy acidity and apple pie spice flavors make it one of the few single-variety ice ciders that stand up to barrel-aging.

In this case, we use top-of-the-line French oak Chardonnay barrels, which bring just a hint of vanilla and toffee to round out this spectacular ice cider.

Naturally cold-concentrated before fermentation in our Vermont winter weather. Arrested fermentation leaves residual sweetness.

Tasting notes: Baked apple, autumn spice, vanilla caramel.

Pairing suggestions: Enjoy with cheese, maple crème brulee, or butter cookies.

Gluten-free, vegan-friendly.

Currently available to the cider club only.

Cerise Cherry Port

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Michigan cherry wine and cherry brandy blended together for a sinfully good dessert wine! Opulent and packed with black and red cherry flavors, this port-style wine calls for decadent chocolate!

This exceptional drink is crafted by fermenting our tart cherry juice to 8.5% ABV, then fortified with in-house distilled cherry brandy. The final product is a naturally sweet fortified wine that contains residual sugars from the cherries and a warm alcoholic sensation of 19% ABV, complemented by the tart cherries’ lively acidity.

Best served slightly chilled. Cheers!

Port-Style Pear Wine by Fabbioli Cellars

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

This wonderful wine blends Bosc, Bartlett, and Asian pears from the Asian pear tree in the vineyard. The juice is fermented and then part of it is distilled locally into a pear brandy, which in then reintroduced into the wine. The bold brandy aroma comes straight to the front of the nose, but takes a backseat to the flavor of pear.

This unexpected treat is flavorful and balanced and complements desserts, fruits, and cheese. Homer referred to pears as “the fruit of the Gods,” and with a taste of this fortified wine, you will see why.

The nose is heavy with smells of butterscotch, fresh pears and mild oak. The mouth has a kick, opening with punches of pear, spice and ginger then finishing with sweet, thick notes of vanilla.

This port-style dessert wine is ready to be enjoyed now but will also continue to develop with age and has a long cellaring capacity.
