Perry is so fascinating in its ability to evolve with age. This 2020 bottle was good at one and two years. But now it is just stellar: deep aromas of baked pear balanced by still lively acidity and nice tannins that have mellowed perfectly. Wish we'd saved a few more bottles.

Make Cider like an Artist: Cider is often thought

Make Cider like an Artist:

Cider is often thought of as a simple drink, but there is an art to making it. Just like with wine, the type of fruit, the climate it was grown in, and the fermentation process all play a role in creating a unique cider.

Our cider making process is like a sculptor crafting a masterpiece. Like Michelangelo, our task as artisans isn't to create something out of nothing - the beauty already exists within nature! All we need do is chip away at what's unnecessary and let that hidden cider glory shine through from each unique block we receive from the orchard with every new season.

Every year brings with it something new; climate, soil, sun exposure and rain all shape our block of marble creating delicious possibilities just begging for exploration. As artisanal cider makers, it's our job to take what each orchard has given us - no more, no less.

We work carefully and diligently, taking only that which captures our craft in order to create something extraordinary. Each orchard holds a unique sculpture waiting for an artisanal touch – these crafted ciders are nothing less than masterpieces!

We are so excited to announce the release of our 2021 vintage Mistelle. We aged half in glass and half in oak to explore differences in the expression of the fruit. Both are delicious! You can read more about it on our site: https://1785-cider.de/newsletter/?email_id=4

The gorgeous artwork on our 2021 bottles comes from the amazingly talented and altogether lovely human, Sumiko Shoji. Check out all of her works at wŵw.sumikoshoji.com We are honored. ❤️

Out harvesting on the slopeside orchard and my friend Penny was there too! We met last year while harvesting the lower slope and every time we were there she came to hang out with me. I was hoping to see her again this year.

The 2022 edition of the Cidermaker Directory by @j

The 2022 edition of the Cidermaker Directory by @journal_du_sommelier is now available.
A most excellent resource! - of course we are listed in it too 😉 The editors have sampled products from every maker, so this is much more than just a simple list of cider-makers by country.
Currently it is pretty heavily focused on France, but other countries are slowly making a showing too.
Check it out - it's free to download.

The wait is over and @intciderchal trophy awards

The wait is over and @intciderchal
trophy awards have finally been announced. Drum roll .... our whiskey cask-aged cider "Barrel #4" took home the trophy in the category wood-aged ciders.

We always thought it was very good. But receiving confirmation from an international panel of professional tasters really tells us that we are on the right track.

Thank you to @thecidercritic and the jury panel for this recognition and thoughtful tasting notes.

Late spring strawberries here in Moosloch. mmmmm .
