Troddenvale House Cider 750ml

The House Cider is an ever evolving cuvée year to year, with the goal of showcasing a more macro focus on Virginia as an apple growing region. In 2020, our hopes were to find more flesh and softness in the blend while still retaining the same brightness and tropical qualities of previous vintages. A few adjustments were made to accomplish this: a majority of the blend was fermented and aged in 500L puncheons vs. the usual 228L barrels of the past, preserving more freshness through less surface contact/micro-oxidation. As well, the introduction of Wickson and increased use of Black Twig helped retain vibrancy in what was otherwise an up and down year for fruit quality. The result hits a sweet spot between heavily textured and higher acid components of cider we love.
