APPLE TYPE: Pure Sweet, (Blender). ORIGIN: USA Virginia, Early 1800s. PURPOSE: This single-varietal cider was made with limited intervention, so only the apple’s true flavor (not necessarily a pleasing one) is present for special compound evaluation. By tasting the cider and using the Post-Fermentation Flavor Graph one can recognize if this apple or apple type would be good to use as a single varietal cider, and/or can be used as a blender to fix problematic ciders. For a Good flavor baseline, the graph has a red box to help show flavors that are too high or too low. Apples were grown in the cool Maritime PNW area of Washington State by the cidermaker.

Notes

NOTES:
This still cider was slow fermented in glass using Lalvin ICV D47™ yeast at 42-50° deg F for 6 months. Then it was aged on the secondary lees for 12 months.

Brand for Renaissance Orchards
In 2007 we planted Renaissance Orchards at the Pacific Northwest Coast of Ferndale Washington.This is a blessed cider apple growing location because unlike the rest of North America...and the world; the year-round maritime climate and terroir is effectively identical to that of Normandy France. This match is important because since the Middle Ages most premium ciders have originated from there. In this ‘Little Normandy’ we grow a diverse palette of over 300 different special cider apples so the same rich-aromatic flavors, full body, and rich mouthfeel of premium French Ciders shine-through in our versions.

The heraldic apple logo for Renaissance Orchards pays tribute to the growers and cidermakers of Normandy and Brittany France who have spent centuries breeding the best cider apples and mastering fermentation methods. It also symbolizes our ongoing pursuit of
"Reviving Premium Cider with European Bittersweet Apples."
