 onadnock Harvest is a local cider made from the freshly-pressed juice of apples grown in southern New Hampshire. It is exceptionally dry and tart, a bit like a very light champagne. It's a very refreshing drink, with just a touch of sparkle added through bottle conditioning.

We start with some of the ancient, unnamed varieties we grow in our own orchard. We'll then blend in the fruit from other local growers. The final mix usually includes juice from Fortune, McIntosh, Macoun, Yellow Delicious, Mutsu, and Fuji from the "moderns," and Northern Spy, Hubbardston Nonesuch, Roxbury Russet, Blue Pearmain, Baldwin, and Golden Russet from the "heirlooms."

The freshly pressed juice is always cold fermented, then blended and bottled. It's neither pasteurized nor filtered, and it is bottle conditioned, so expect a light sediment at the bottom of the bottle (for a clear drink, pour slowly). We don't add any preservatives. However, we do use sulfites to sterilize our press and tanks, and small amounts are likely to show up in the final product. The alcohol content is 7.6%.
