Ancestral~style pear cider - Early apples & pears are cured, ground, & fermented on skins, & combined w/ winter apples - 75% pear & 25% apple

From the producer: "The Beginning of Memory is a an ancestral style pear cider made according to the shifts in the season. A duet of our early apples and pears are cured, ground and fermented on skins, then pressed and combined with our winter apple harvest in order to seed a second fermentation in bottle. The native sugars and wild yeasts found in our homefarm orchard produce a unique and lightly sparkling that harnesses the flavors of the two mountainous landscapes of the Barnard and Brownsville orchards. Fruity, minerally, and very elegant this poiré is excellent with cured and smoked meats or fishes, oysters, caviar, or a roast chicken or pork. We also love it with a splash of our Orleans Herbal Cider Aperitif for a lovely pre-prandial concoction.

Wild yeast, no added sulfites, and no filtration."
