Ice Cider 'Essence' [2022]

This version of Essence is a bit different from any Eve’s has made before, most notably because about half of the apples used to make it were wild harvested from seedling trees, and also because it is a blend of ice ciders made in two different growing seasons; 2018 and 2019. This ice cider is a departure from previous bottlings in that the wild seedling apples contributed tannins and significant acid to the blend. They also bring a earthy, savory character that adds depth to the concentrated sweetness that defines ice cider. The net result is a decadent, luscious knock-your-socks-off mouthful of cider.
