AN APPLE A DAY

September 14: If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, cider lovers are in luck! You’ll get more than your fair share of apples (and good cheer!) with hard apple cider from Annapolis Cider Company.

Their Heritage Series strives to reveal the authentic expression of Nova Scotia’s most prized cider apple varieties. Savour the uniqueness of our region’s apple growing tradition!

Old Fashioned Gravenstein –  7.4% ABV

This single-varietal cider is crafted from hand-picked local Gravenstein apples, a traditional heriloom variety that is only available in autumn. This elegant pale-hued cider has a crisp apple flavour and fresh apple aroma that celebrates Gravenstein’s 150 year history as a local favourite.

Geneva Crab Rose – 8.6% ABV

This cider is crafted solely from hand-picked local crabapples. First, Golden Hyslop crabapples are pressed and fermented dry. Then, fresh-pressed juice from Geneva Red crabapples is cyro-extracted, enhacing this red-fleshed apple’s natural tannin and colour. Blending both together results in this unique, scarlet-tinged rosé with a distinct tannin structure and intense notes of tart apple.
750 ml – $18.99
