CIDERMAKER NOTES

This infusion is a tribute to the harvest of seed to make more fruit and to our land partners, the Organic Seed Alliance (OSA), who is leading education, research and advocacy to advance organic seed. We toasted sunflower seeds from OSA on a sheet pan in the oven, allowing the dark seeds to bleed their color into the cider. Additionally OSA provided us with 70 lb of organic purple carrots that infused this vintage with a surprisingly bright blush of color. The sensations from the carrots are both bitter and sweet in the breath, while a light fermentation of the carrot pulp brought a balanced lactic acid sharpness. Crisp, earthy, nutty, gentle. We are quite delighted with the outcome.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

A good balance to bitter and acid so pair with summer greens, grilled asparagus, grilled salmon sandwiches, all things with mustard on them. Dreamy with thin crust pizza, andquiteanicecomplementtogrilledoysterswith spicy mignonette.
