CHIPSEAL 2020 Touring Series* Release
This was the first cider to be released from the fabulous harvest of 2020. Bottled while still actively fermenting, it preserves the character of a lively, youthful cider.
This process, also known as Méthode Ancestrale or pétillant naturel, omits the addition of priming sugar for bottle conditioning. Instead, bottle conditioning is achieved via the small amount of residual sugar present at bottling. It requires attention and experience to get this right.
As usual, the cider is 100% fresh juice from local meadow orchards, unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Chipseal: a rough road worth exploring
Chipseal is the paving method of choice in the rural and remote areas of the US. Gravel is embedded in a thin layer of asphalt, resulting in a rough surface with loosed aggregate. Cyclists dread it: it takes extra effort and there is always a risk of sliding out in corners. However, the most beautiful sights are often found at the end of a chipseal road.
