Years ago, we produced our first single varietal cider using Black Twig apples from an orchard in Crozet, Virginia. After nurturing our Black Limbertwig trees to fruition, we now produce this glamorous cider with our estate orchard fruit! Harvested and pressed in late August 2021, our Black Twig aged for 9 months in neutral wine barrels prior to bottling. A rich flavor with a slight citrus finish, this cider is perfect with spiced foods, sauces with some acidity (tomato based sauces, lime, other citrus), and most cheeses.
Notes
Single varietal cider.
We follow natural methods. We do not filter, fine, or add preservatives to our ciders. All are finished to dry, barrel aged, and bottle-conditioned.
Located in Maidens, VIrginia, Courthouse Creek adheres to natural methods of cider making. Our ciders are free from sulfites and all other additives, and we finish our ciders to dry. Indeed, we like to say, "we're not sweet, we're cider!" We also do not filter or fine our cider, and ferment and/or age everything in used barrels. While we did use some cultured yeasts in the past, this is no longer be the case beginning with the 2019 harvest.
We are the only cidery in Virginia to adhere to these natural methods, and one of a select few to do so on the east coast. We also grow heirloom cider apples with little intervention, using only minimal organic sprays and holistic methods to grow our fruit.. As we wait for our orchard to mature, we source all of our apples locally.
