AWARDS: 2017 Best in Class Gold Medal, Glintcap
CIDERMAKER NOTES: Our seasonal ciders
share the earthly essence of life in the fields and
gardens of the Olympic Peninsula. We crafted this
cider around the time of the Winter Solstice, inspired
by the local saffron grown at Phocas Farms in Port
Angeles. Saffron is considered one of the world’s
most rare and costly spices and was first cultivated
in Greece. The bright cider features fermented
organic apples, delicately steeped toasted fennel
and organic anise pods. Lightly carbonated. Made
without gluten ingredients.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve chilled in
a white wine glass or as you wish. Pair this cider
with minty rice, sushi, summer salads with edible
flowers or lightly braised vegetables, or with a range
of Mediterranean or Indian foods, make a Solstice
Saffron granita!
