The Mighty Apple
These are mighty special ciders. Since 2012 Golden State Cider has produced a beloved lineup of dry California ciders. For their newest Harvest Series, they work with California Farmers using only apples sourced from their family-owned orchards throughout the Golden State to create a delicious lineup of single varietal ciders. These apples are harvested only once a year, resulting in truly unique ciders year after year.
This series really needed to capture the diversity, physical characteristics, taste appeal, and personality of each different kind of apple, as well as pay homage to the generations California farming and agriculture that enabled these tasty bevvys to exist!
“Growing Apples Through Cider”
In the 1940’s there were over 9,700 acres of Gravenstein apples, whereas today, you’ll find less than 600. Specialty single varietal ciders like these were created to educate the public on this heirloom variety, support farmers, and keep these beloved apple trees in the ground.
