Dry Sparkling Cider 'Wickson' [2024]

If there was ever a cider to pair with raw oysters, this would be it. A go-to seafood pairing cider, Wickson can be searingly tart when it’s young, the raw lemon characteristics mellowing into a more candied lemon flavor with age. Wickson is a crab apple, a selection of an intentional cross made by California fruit breeder Albert Etter, introduced in 1944. The apple has very high acids and sugars and plenty of tannins. This naturally sparkling cider is made from 100% Wickson apples biointensively grown in our certified organic orchards. Wild yeast primary fermentation in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation in the bottle, hand disgorged. Bone dry and citrusy with a mouth watering acidity.
