Galipette Cidre Extra Brut
$6.99
5.5% ABV
Producer Description
"GALIPETTE EXTRA BRUT is our driest cider, made mainly from bitter-sweet Breton cider apples. It has an unusually bold and intense character that naturally varies with the seasons. This Cuvée du Maître de Chai, or Cellar Master's blend, uses up to fifteen varieties native to the orchards of Brittany such as Marie Ménard, Dous Moën and Bedan, which give the perfect character, colour and balance. The extra-long fermentation here isn’t the fastest way to make cider, but it naturally preserves structure and length of taste, with a higher alcohol level. The result is true to the bold Breton style of cider, with its earthy tannins and full flavour. Enjoy this crisp, dry cider as it is or just as we would in Brittany, as the perfect partner to a plateau des fruits de mer."

"Crop / Yamada Nishiki Rice Polish 40%
Acidity and sweetness
This sake invites you to focus on the balance of acids and residual sugars. One notch less polished, rice so much to express itself more in a suavity specific to Yamada.
It will nevertheless be necessary to wait a minimum of a year for the sugars to concentrate and release the potential of this sake.
From then on and for at least five years at each tasting, the mouth will evolve, sometimes declining on pear and melon from the Andes, more and more ripe.
With white fish or crab meat, the fusion is complete.

From the Producer;
"Starting a cider company may not seem like a linear career path for Kelli, a doctor and Brett, a heavy duty mechanic. But Prairie Bears Cider Co. is no side gig. Making cider out of rescued fruit started as a creative outlet for us during Kelli’s residency in 2017 but it quickly became something we turned into a way of life. Now we’re tending to our growing prairie orchard near Alberta Beach and crafting ciders that reflect both our commitment to quality and our love for the community we live in."
