Lassen Traditional Cider "Winesap" Barrel Fermented Single Varietal Cider, California (750ml)

The Winesap apple is an heirloom variety commonly said to have a vinous, or wine-like, flavor and has a long history of being used for cider. It was at one time a major commercial variety, especially in the southern states. It produces well in warmer climates, including California. All the apples used in this cider come from the Sierra foothills. The cider is wild fermented to full dryness in neutral French oak red wine barrels. At bottling, a small amount of fresh juice is added so that the cider is naturally carbonated from bottle conditioning.
