Apple

NH - New Hampshire

$19.95 / 750 mL Bottle

Our signature wine … first batch (2008) was based on our own crabapple tree here at the winery. These Dolgo crabapples are an heirloom variety, originally from Kazakhstan and introduced here several hundred years ago. They are relatively large for crabapples, beautiful, sweet, tart and tannic … perfect fruit for an exciting wine. As with all our wines, the fresh whole fruit is gently handled and processed raw with emphasis on getting the full fruit characteristics into the bottle. Source of the fruit for our Crabapple wine this year is from the tree here at the winery and also from Scott Farm in Vermont, where they note that during harvest the crew will often use these crabapples to suck on for a boost to help finish filling that last apple bin late in the day. This off-sweet, tangy wine is a great aperitif and also an excellent partner with a wide variety of foods, including spicy dishes, light meals, breads, etc. …. Some enjoy it over ice … as a boost to help finish the day.
