This wine/cider hybrid is a blend of 75% apple and 25% red wine grapes.  The grapes were lightly pressed to produce a pink colored juice which was then blended with juice from Gold Rush, Black Twig and Redfield apples.  Fermentation was completed in neutral wine barrels without the addition of yeast, then racked into stainless steel with a small amount of reserve apple juice just before bottling.  Bottles were then riddled and disgorged to remove yeast.

Well integrated berry aroma from the red wine grapes, subtle oak notes from barrel fermentation, and classic apple aroma and tannin combine to produce this uniquely satisfying beverage.
