Pet Nat hard cider from our organic cider apples — super happy with this year’s batch! Pressed and pitched December 15, combo of Dabinet, Liberty, GoldRush, Grimes Golden, Wickson. Made a beautiful rustic cider. Pet Nat is about as simple and clean a way to make hard cider as there is. Start with quality apples and let the apples lead the way.
This Pet Nat is a 4 week fermentation that was bottled January 20 with an ounce of sweet cider/bottle. At this point the cider has a great small bubbles effervescence and lots of live flavor from the orchard: fresh, crisp, a little smokiness from the Dabinet.
