The apples are picked and held in a cooler for 3-4 weeks to concentrate slightly prior to milling. The apples are then milled, pressed and allowed to ferment naturally with ambient yeast. Toward the end of fermentation the cider is blended together and bottled with some of the apple’s natural sugar still remaining. The cider continues to ferment in bottle resulting in a light carbonation. This method of carbonating the cider is called the “Ancestral method” or pétillant naturel. The cider is fermented using natural yeasts, and adding absolutely nothing to the cider. No added sulfur, no added acid, no forced carbonation and no added sugar.
