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.
Believe it or not, cider was to America what wine is to France. Once the most popular drink before the turn of the century, many of the founding fathers were skilled orchardists who pressed and made their own ciders. Aaron Burr Cidery salutes this bygone era by trying to bring back America's rich cider history one apple at a time. The nose of this cider is definitely reminiscent of quince, Bosc pear and lilac. The palate delivers raspberry, white peach and slight chalk leaving you smacking your lips and wanting another sip... pet-nat red and deeper than a rosé.
