Discover Cider: From Crisp Apples to Pear Delights

Cider offers a refreshing alternative to wine, crafted from fermented apple juice with a range of sweetness and effervescence. Expect bright apple notes, natural acidity, and a crisp finish, often with a light sparkle. Explore traditional styles from the UK, France, and Spain, alongside vibrant craft ciders from the US.

Tasting Notes

Look for flavors ranging from tart green apple and pear to richer baked apple notes. Dry ciders are lean and refreshing, while sweeter styles offer a fruitier, more approachable profile. Some feature subtle berry or floral hints, especially fruit-infused varieties.

Perfect Food Pairings

Dry ciders are fantastic with pork, roasted chicken, and sharp cheeses. Fruity or slightly sweet ciders complement spicy Asian dishes, salads, and even lighter desserts like apple pie. Pear ciders, like the Domaine Pacory, pair beautifully with duck or creamy pasta.

One More Thing

Don't shy away from ciders made with specific apple varieties, like Eden Ciders' Sandwitch Buddy, as they often offer complex, nuanced flavors. Also, consider pear ciders (perry) for a delightful variation on the classic apple theme.
