Eden Specialty Ciders in Newport, Vermont has been a dear love of ours for years now. The care and attention given to the entire process—growing, picking, pressing, fermentation, dosage and finally, bottling is all there.
This cider was bottled in 2019 with a small addition of Ice Cider for just a touch of sweetness. What we get is a mostly dry, lightly sparkling and decidedly rich example of fine apple cider.
