Redbyrd Workmans Dry Cider

Clean and crisp, with apricot and fresh cut hemlock on the nose with hints of fresh ginger and guava. Workman Dry is a fruit forward, bone-dry, balanced cider. The mid palate is warm with fine sensual tannins and lemon curd in the front ending with a balanced medium weight finish. This cider holds its own with a pleasant transition of fruit into tannins,and ending with fruit. This combination makes Workman Dry a cider that pairs excellently with food. We love it especially accompanying a rustic meal of sourdough bread, sharp cheese, salami, and oil-cured olives. A blend of 60% mixed heirlooms (primarily Roxbury Russet, Tompkins King), 20% Wild gathered apples, 20% mixed sharps and bittersweets ( primarily Dolgo crab, Brown’s Apple, Nehou, Yarlington Mill).
