PERSIMMON CIDER
R.O’NEILL LATTA | 2020
Fuyu, Hachiya and Apple Cider
Mary’s Orchard, Corralitos, California
9%
This is a blend of Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons picked on December 4th and 13th, 2020, along with Pippin apple cider from forgotten centurion apple trees on Mary’s Orchard in Corralitos. A small batch of fermenting cider was left to macerate with the Fuyu persimmons for two weeks while the Hachiya ripened; it was then mixed with a larger quantity of field blend cider before bottling. This is a bright flaming orange color with zippy, energetic acidity and aromatic fruit that smells of dried apricots.
