Aaron Burr 'Appinette' Cider 2024, New York

TASTING NOTES

Aaron Burr Cidery located in Wurtsboro, New York, is a small homestead farm dating back to the early 19th century.  We grow cider-apples, which are different from eating-apples in the same way wine-grapes are different from table-grapes.  We aspire to recreate the historic cider of early Americans through our fermenting techniques, apple selection and orchard practices, believing, as they did, that by trusting nature cider can be a highly sophisticated drink.

 

The husband and wife team of Andy and Polly Brennan are not only trying to make a difference in the world of cider but the world in general. With their farm in Upstate New York, Andy uses either locally grown or wild apples he forages himself. Andy's motto is simple, grind the apples and then squeeze out the juice. The Brennans truly want to showcase the beauty and natural flavor of cider apples and do not filter, fine or add sulfur to any of their ciders. 

 

The Appinette is a blend of late season apples and the Traminette grape. This dry cider is gently sparkling and possesses a bright, slightly tart flavor of earthy apple with notes of pineapple, citrus, hints of rose petal and eucalyptus lingering on the palate.
