Sparkling gold clear Off Dry cider featuring local Dolgo Crabs, Ashmead's Kernel, and JonaGold apples, all from a single orchard in Highland County at 3,200 feet in elevation. These trees are not sprayed with anything. Crabbottom Valley, the original name for Highland’s Blue Grass Valley, was named due to its abundance of crabapple trees. Pippin is a word that describes an apple tree that is grown from seed, like our abundant wild trees. Tart, and astringent, at the front, balancing out with hints of grapefruit, cherry and spicy floral notes. Tannins present, but slight, finishes with a clean mouthfeel. Crabbottom Pippin tends to pair well pork dishes, sausage, practically any cheeses but particularly blue cheeses and sharp cheeses.
