This New World Cider showcases the vibrant, juicy character of 100% Colorado high-altitude grown Honeycrisp apples. It opens with an expressive sensory bouquet of fresh-pressed juice, delicate honey, and light floral blossoms. On the palate, the Honeycrisp fruit delivers a signature balance of crystalline sweetness and refreshing acidity, creating a profile that is notably crisp and clean. The fermentation is immaculate, allowing the pure varietal expression to lead from the initial sip through to a bright, semi-sweet finish. With its lively carbonation and polished texture, it captures the essence of the namesake apple in a sophisticated, effervescent form.
