We said what we said.

Sometimes the afternoon calls for a little less caffeine and a little more sangria. Come pour yourself a glass and make the switch.

Your iced coffee can wait 😉

“I love nature walks!”

What my friend means: a peaceful hike, fresh air, mountain views…

What I mean: a leisurely stroll with a little (or a bottle of) wine and cider along the way.

Same nature. Different priorities. 😉

This week’s Jake Fact... you can date a Colorado orchard by its apples. 🍎

Colorado’s apple-growing history is truly written in the trees. Different apple varieties ripen at different times and have different characteristics, so the mix of cultivars growing in an orchard offer clues about when—and sometimes where—that orchard was established.

From familiar varieties like Winter Banana, McIntosh, Golden Delicious, and Colorado’s heritage apples, these trees are more than fruit producers—they’re living pieces of agricultural history. Colorado State University notes that the state has a long tradition of apple growing, with local varieties and orchards found across both Western and Eastern Colorado.

The most interesting part?  Some historic Colorado apples have been rediscovered through old records, surviving trees, grafting, and modern genetic testing—including the once-thought-lost Colorado Orange apple. 

So the next time you come to visit us, walk around our baby orchard and take note of the different trees –just a small part of the history (and future) we’re creating here.

Jake Facts: The difference between wine, cider, perry, and pommeau begins long before fermentation.

Wine, cider, perry, and pommeau each begin with fruit—but the ingredients and production methods give each its own distinct identity.

🍇 Wine is produced by fermenting grapes.
🍎 Cider is produced by fermenting apples.
🍐 Perry is made by fermenting pears, traditionally using specialized perry pear cultivars grown for their tannins and acidity.
🍎 Pommeau is a traditional French aperitif made by blending fresh apple juice with apple brandy before aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich, naturally sweet beverage.

Although grapes are often synonymous with winemaking, apples and pears have their own rich fermentation traditions dating back centuries. Today, thousands of fruit cultivars contribute unique combinations of tannins, acidity, sugars, and aromatics—each shaping the character of the finished beverage.

At EsoTerra, we're proud to celebrate the diversity of heritage apples, other local fruits, and the craftsmanship that transforms them into exceptional beverages.
