2021 Packbasket
Dry. Naturally Sparkling. 100% wild seedling apples germinated at the edges of pastures along fence lines that are barely noticeable today. Gathered by hand in the hedgerows and forests of the Finger Lakes, primarily around Ithaca, NY. The trees are often far enough from the road that they must be hauled out on our backs, hence the name Packbasket. The epitome of terroir, bringing the expression of an exact time and place into the glass. Naturally sparkling. Undisgorged.
Tasting notes: Mild bitterness with elegant structure. Light amber color. Full, lively bubble. Jasmine, white flower, fresh rain, sweet soil, grapefruit pith
Pairings: Umeboshi.
