Floral Terranes Cider, "Ronkonkoma Moraine" 2019

"Mostly Northern Spy and Roxbury Russet from Restoration Farm blended with unknown varieties from various backyard trees. It was pressed October 15th, 2019 with 15 gallons of Crabapple cider from 2015 added in for good measure (a solitary remainder of the spiritual project known as the cider “Trees are Filters”), racked into barrel and bottled unfined and unfiltered, as you would expect.

 It has some of the punch and knife-edge cut of the “Uplands Moraine” and some of the elegance and style of the “Suburban Moraine.” It’s tart and spicy, phenolic and vivid and grippy; it has its own preternatural sense of balance, the acids and sugars dancing beautifully."
