Our new blush cider - Oaky Rosé was aged in French Red Wine barrels to impart some oaky wine tannins, and naturally giving this beauty a pink hue. To make it more wine forward, we added red wine Cabernet and Merlot lees to the barrel. The result is a fruit-forward bone dry cider with hints of stewed strawberries on the palate with oaky after-notes.

We chose to bottle-condition our barrel-aged bottles. Carbonation in this method occurs naturally over weeks converting residual sugars into alcohol while producing natural C02. The result is a delightful creation of tiny little bubbles, very pleasing to the palate. In light of this fact, our Oaky Rosé Cider has ZERO residual sugar.

To complete this handcrafted cider-making process, we hand-dipped our bottles in hot gold wax for extra protection from the secondary bottle-fermentation.

In order to open this bottle, you must score the bottle at the base of the crown with a sharp knife (swiss army knife is perfect). It is a bit tricky… but it’s worth the extra effort. Use a beer bottle opener to remove the crown.
