Apple Cider 6%abv, 473ml - This apple cider is as simple as it comes. It is a blend of late harvest dessert apples fermented completely dry. A sparkling tart dry apple cider.
Valley Cider is located in the Cowichan valley here on Vancouver Island. Valley specializes in small batch specialty cider. 6.5%abv, 341ml - 355ml
Noir - Our own blackberries, plus black cherries and black grapes blended with 16-month-aged handcrafted cider... all the juicy darkness we could fit into the bottle. A very subtle sherry note in the cider helps highlight a deliciously natural sour on the finish. All natural sweetness that doesn't become cloying or dull your senses to the berry/cherry character growing as you enjoy it.
Love Potion - Kinda tastes like you want to stare into someone's eyes for a while. Rose petals, lavender and damiana fuse into flavors which are more than the sum of their parts: floral on the nose, and more savory (think basil & ginger) on the palate. May be magical, and at the very least uniquely delicious.
Thistle Dew -. apples, harvested from our orchard and others across the Cowichan valley presented as a purely coastal cider. Fully dry and lightly oaked, with a delicate vanilla, and green apple finish. A cider we can relate to; beautifully simple at heart yet unapologetically confidence from just enough aging.
Poiple - Crisp dry handcrafted cider, blueberries, lemon zest and cinnamon, made radiant with butterfly pea blossoms. A unique pleasure to the eye and palate, and sultry as a pair of velvet pants. You don’t have to admit it to anyone, but you’re thinking about velvet pants now aren’t you? This is that good.
Wait What? - Pairs wonderfully with watching clouds pass by and not caring 'why'. Off-dry, medium sparkle. Originally named for the experience of starting a cidery, and now in its second incarnation a reflection of blending wild-fermented Tremlett's Bitter cider with our late-harvest BC apples.
Gingerella - The luscious aromatics of fresh ginger, teased with kisses of cardamom, peppermint and caramelized gingered apple juice, blended with cider fermented with yeast that enhances Chardonnay characteristics. All you need now is... well, let’s be honest, that really is all that anyone needs.
Cherry Bomb - Dry vinous cider, Carmenere grapes, Triple Pearl dry-hopped, and blended with hibiscus and sour cherry, creating a... well, why spoil the surprise? I will say that the notes of Dr Pepper were a bit of a shocker.
Little Miss Malbec - Valley Cider's neighbors Malbec grapes and their own blackberries and rosemary... It really seemed meant to be. Both subtle and satisfying. Tastes like reminiscing about the Cowichan Valley with a charming Argentine over a wonderful dinner on a Greek island.
Froot Juice - Resplendent with juicy notes of summer's strawberry and watermelon, yet startlingly off-dry. Tastes like lazing in a park, eyes filled with blue skies, smiling into a warm evening breeze and wondering why you don't have more days like these with nothing to do and nowhere to be.
Cidrus - Deliciously vinous dry cider with zests of grapefruit, lemon and bitter orange intensified atop aromatic citra hops makes anywhere the perfect place to be.
