Talbott’s Cider Company
|
|
In 1907 our great-great-great grandfather Joseph Evan Yeager pursued his dream of moving west and settled in the high altitude scenic Grand Valley of Colorado’s Western Slope. He was among the early settlers who planted orchards in the Palisade region of the valley. Constructing canals they delivered Rocky Mountain snowmelt waters to the thirsty mineral rich alluvial soils of the valley floor and surrounding benches and mesas.
Joe’s granddaughter caught the eye of a young cattleman from a neighboring county and upon their marriage, our great-grandmother welcomed Harry Talbott, our great- grandfather and founder of Talbott Farms into the fruit-growing business. Over the decades, our company has continued to expand orchard and vineyard production and packing and processing for markets throughout the nation. In 1983 we constructed our first cider mill in the building that now serves as our retail market. As production increased in the 1990s, we built a larger cider mill that currently meets production demands.
Today, in the same pioneering spirit embraced by Joseph Yeager over a century ago Christopher Leader and I (Charles Talbott) have launched Talbott’s Cider Company producing Hard Ciders so that we can show “the boys” what the sixth generation brings to the table! We are committed to maintaining a standard of quality that will serve you with premium refreshing ciders. It is our sincere hope that you enjoy the cider and the friends with whom you share it. Stay Calm and Cider on!

Aspenglow Late Harvest Semillon
A very rare grape, it makes an exquisite sweeter wine similar to a German Spatlese or Auslese. You absolutely must try this "nectar of the gods."
|
Chardonnay
Our Chardonnay is cold-fermented with dry ice to retain its full fruit flavorsome, then aged in French oak to add complexity and subtle flavors.
|
Merlot
Merlot is not only our most popular wine but also has won national awards, for three years running by the American Wine Society. It is hand-pressed and aged in oak for over a year, then left unfiltered to give it a full and complex taste.
|
Rabbit Ears Red
Rabbit Ears Red, named for the pass leading into Steamboat Springs is a hearty blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Dry, complex, and full-bodied it is the quintessential "steak wine"
|
Sauvignon Blanc
Our Sauvignon Blanc is named after the famous Fish Creek Falls north of Steamboat Springs. Also cold-fermented, it is a lighter white wine but still dry and crisp, it is a perfect accompaniment to fish or white meats. It is also a national award winner.
|
Strawberry Park
Strawberry Park, named for the famous Hot Springs northwest of Steamboat Springs is a delightful blush wine made with real strawberries to give it the most exquisite bouquet. It is perfect for holidays or any special occasion and it goes with almost anything.
|
Syrah
Our Syrah is made only in limited quantities as this grape is not yet abundant in Colorado. Yet the climate and soil conditions on the Western Slope have proven that it rivals any other Syrah in the World.
