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. 


Blaq'Bry & Wylde -  An evocatively dry blackberry, salal berry and oregon grape co-ferment, all hand picked from our forest. 


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.
