Urban Orchard Estate Ex-bear-hewes-mental Cider Virginia 2025

100% Hewes Crab Apple. Aromas of bruised apple, ripe pear and warm spice lead into a layered palate of orchard fruit, baked apple and subtle vanilla. Dry with M+ acidity, gentle, soft bubbles, M body, M+ flavor intensity and a lingering finish. Light oak aging adds a delicate vanilla note and a touch of warm wood without overshadowing the character of the crab apple. Complex yet approachable, with a lovely balance of crisp apple character, rounded texture and gentle effervescence. A distinctive Virginia cider that gives this historic heirloom apple the spotlight.

Food Pairing: Roast pork, sharp Cheddar, aged Gouda, charcuterie, roasted chicken, savory tarts, apple-stuffed pork loin and creamy cheese
