Night Pasture
still cider
Subtly complex and dry with hints of creamy, ripe melon and a touch of oak, Night Pasture is made from a blend of Gala and Spartan ciders. It then rests for eight months in oak wine barrels for malolactic fermentation, producing a flavor profile rarely found in ciders. To finish, we blend it with Liberty cider to balance flavor and acidity. It’s a traditional, still cider—a cider for wine drinkers—with an overlap of some white wine flavor and softness. Night Pasture is named after our oldest orchard, where earlier generations of farmers turned out their livestock at the end of the workday. Today it’s a favorite spot for painters, dancers, apple pickers, skiers, and red foxes.

Pommore
Apéritif
Our heirloom and bittersweet apple ciders are heated to extract their deepest fruit notes. This makes an apple brandy similar to an American Calvados. Then we take an unfermented cider and do a cryo-extraction—or freeze concentration—to magnify the flavors. Finally we blend the apple brandy with cryo-extracted ice cider concentrate and finished ice cider to create Pommore, expressing robust sweetness and spice, radiance and warmth.

Ice Harvest
Apéritif
Fresh, artfully blended apple cider is pressed in the depths of our North Country winter and tucked outside to freeze. At the first thaw, a rich apple essence is drawn and slowly fermented until summer’s end. The resulting nectar is redolent of tropical fruits and warm baked apple with hints of spice. For dessert, or as an apéritif at very special occasions. Serve slightly chilled.
