Packbasket Still 2015
This still, dry cider is made from 100% wild seedling apples, gathered by hand in the hedgerows and forests of the Finger Lakes, NY from unsprayed, uncultivated and very old trees. These hidden trees were far enough from the dirt road that we could only retrieve the fruit by hauling it out on our backs. Hence the name, Packbasket. This is the epitome of terroir, bringing the expression of an exact time and place into the glass. Look for a balance of acidity and salinity, with notes of pear, cacao, baked apple, green leaves and waterfalls. Long-lasting finish.
