Moraine is a wild fermented cider from 2021, macerated on golden plums from 2022 for 6 months, and aged in our clay amphora for an additional 4 months before bottling.
Clay amphora are large clay pots that were used by the romans to age wine centuries ago.
They change wine and cider in unique ways, depending on the makeup of the clay, and the temperature of the kiln they're fired in. Ours are rich in limestone and salts like potassium and sodium.
What's it like?: Plum leaves and skins dance in the aroma, with softer notes of white spring flowers. The tart malic acid of our fruit is moderated by the limestone-rich clay used to make our amphora.
Moraine is soft and saline, with gentle fruit and an uncomplicated energy. The way these tart plum skins play with the saltiness of the clay make this a delightful expression of clay amphora—its minerality front and centre.
Drink Moraine when you crave the texture of orange wine but want something just a little bit more ephemeral.

The low acidity with plums isn't something that makes sense, it really is unique in a good way. A nice minerality.
