Staff Pick Notes

Say hello to my little friend. Billy the Cid. This new expression from Cyril Zangs is produced exactly the same as his much loved 'Ciderman' label, but here apples are sourced from Ferme de Billy, his neighbors organic orchard. Fruit from 69 different apple varieties are harvested from high-stem orchards that range from fifteen to sixty years old.The apples are sorted, then grated to create a marc which is put through a hydraulic press that is frequently racked during the fermentation process. The cider undergoes a secondary fermentation process in bottle to get a little bit of sparkle. This ciders is made with native yeasts, unfiltered and no sulfur is added. Prevailing notes of yellow apples and fresh honey make this easy-drinking cuvée from Cyril Zangs my favorite small bottle of cider as Astor today.
