Pippin Cider

Pippin Cider Wine Details
Price:

Description: These apples make a lovely cider, bringing notes of bright fruit and tartness. Now, tartness isn’t something you find in a bittersweet apple, and terroir doesn’t explain such a massive difference. Well -informed sources have told us that our Yarlington Mill and Tremletts do not look like their namesakes, nor resemble any European cider apple. Our guess is that they are really seedlings- that the graft of scion-to-seedling didn’t take, and the rootstock became the tree. In the early 1900's, most grafting was done onto seedlings.
