Griffin Claw - Yo, Homes To Bellaire

100% of the apples in this cider are all wild picked from Bellaire, Michigan. Finding these apples is an adventure in itself. It takes bush-whacking through old overgrown and forgotten parts of nature where man used to farm these apple trees in another time. You’ll find yourself on the side of an old dirt road leading to nowhere of particular use in modern times. We then pitch a French yeast that is perfect for late harvest fruit wines that’s well known for clean fermentation that respects varietal character while avoiding any bitter sensory contributions. You never really know what you’ll get out of these wild apples until they’re pressed and fermented in an old style reminiscent of what they would drink on the old farm they came from. Beautiful and dry, no sulfites, vegan, and gluten-free!
