We’re excited to share that Porter’s Perfection has been awarded the 2026 NC Wine Cup for Best Cider!
Porter’s Perfection is part of our Lewis Creek Orchard Reserve series, released earlier this year, and crafted with apples from trees planted nine years ago in our specialty orchard at Lewis Creek Farm.
Porter’s Perfection not only stands out for its appearance, but for its flavor as well. This bittersharp English apple has a tendency to fuse clusters of apples into one, while its juice gives way to a beautiful balance of tart acidity and rich tannins.
We’re grateful to see this cider recognized for exactly what we planted these cider-specific apple varieties for: showcasing the distinct flavor and complexity of these unique apples.
We’re very honored, as this marks three years in a row taking home the Cup.
Thank you North Carolina Wine for the recognition.
Cheers 🥂✨
