Burnt Branch Reserve #13

Released March 2024

2023 Harvest
Organic Harrison Apples

Harrison, One of the few american apples to have been specifically grown for cider. Thought to be Lost then found again in New Jersey in the mid 1970's. This is our first foray into the world of Pet Nat cider(naturally Petillant). This style of cider making is familiar to us from our years of producing bottle conditioned ciders but this takes it to another level. Instead of fully conditioned and aged cider being treated to a small dose of sugar to feed the yeast and build carbonation this approach stops the natural fermentation before completion by bottling, preserving the fruit sugar.. So while it seems like the very simplest way to make cider it actually comes with it's own set of challenges. We think the wonderful fruit aroma and delicious freshness of this batch makes it worthwhile.
