how we make it
We start with our proprietary blend of Porter's Orchard excellent Sweet Cider and luscious heirloom hard cider apple varieties. Small-batch fermentation is carried out with minimalist additions and intervention to let the natural flavors of that great Sweet Cider shine in the final product. To capture that pure apple essence, at PHCC we leave a predetermined level of residual natural sugar in the Hard Cider, which actually emphasizes the full, authentic fruit flavors and aromas and allows our ciders to “drink sweeter” than they actually are due to the nature of the unfermented sugars we leave behind. Age on wood from Brandy Barrels, and Voila!
