Ensemble 'Rapt & Rosy' Grape/Apple Cider, 375ml

"If you had the 2024 vintage of this wine, you might remember it's lighthearted & frivolous demeanor. But because of low apple yields in 2025 as well as a drought in the later summer, this vintage is much deeper, more amber, with v dynamic aromatics & different fruit-profile with plump sun-kissed herbs and flowers.

It is made from old-vine Catawba, skins and stems, macerated with the juice of all types of wild apples. It is the most labor-intensive wine we make, and making wine without preservatives is risky, so it's really rewarding when it ends up so delicious. As always, it is made from organically farmed and wild fruit.

If a spectrum existed between cider and wine, each vintage would fall somewhere between the two. Last year it was more cidery, this year is a lot closer to an amber wine. There are so many variables at play, (fruit concentration/varieties/sourcing of apples as well as ripeness and yield of grapes) that the potential for differences in personality year-to-year is much higher than either a cider or a single varietal wine. Which is just such a blast." - Calvin
