Description
Salt Spring Wild Cider makes its ciders with the wild apples and pears that grow on Salt Spring Island, and with apples from regional organic orchards. Salt Spring Wild never adds water. Their process involves slow-fermenting single varieties and allowing each to mature until it has fully developed. The ciders are then carefully blended for complexity and depth of flavour; Dry and Semi-Dry ciders are each blends of over 10 different apple varieties!
While the blending process is crucial (and arduous), the special character of the cider is due to the wealth of heritage cider apples that grow on Salt Spring, and to Salt Spring Wild Cider’s commitment to making fully organic ciders. In general, you’ll find that Salt Spring Wild tends to make their ciders quite dry, with delicate flavours (including berry and plum ciders), and that’s the way they like them!
