Line Drawing
Line Drawing is a cider we aged on orange wine skins. Here's how we did it.
First we made orange wine, by fermenting Vidal and Seyval Blanc on its' skins last fall. We took those grape skins and left them in cider for about 3 months.
The tannins of each fruit have woven together into a delicious textural tapestry.
What's it like?: It drinks like an echo of orange wine, but a big echo. It's weighty and textured, just like you'd expect from a cider that spent months on wine skins.
Our apple blend consists of Honeycrisp, Northern Spy, Red Prince, Jonagold and a few others; they're the perfect base for the apricot/honey/peach tea notes of our Vidal and Seyval.
Line Drawing triggers memories of stripping the flowers off of a yarrow plant, tannic white tea, ripe peaches and wildflower honeycomb all rolled into one.
It's always one of our favourite tiny, tiny releases of the year. This year is no different.
