Sidra Moderna
Our Sidra Moderna is made with two semi-sweet heirloom apple varieties to create a cider that is dry, fruit forward and thirst-quenching. This modern-style cider is medium bodied with notes of ripe red apples, floral aromas and mouth-watering acidity.
Sidra moderna is a modern, American style cider that is hand crafted to be carbonated and fruit forward. the perfect balance of fruit, acid and dryness.
The vision of this cider was to create an “american” style cider but only using heirloom cider apple varieties, not the culinary varieties mainly used in the US. in order to achieve the flavor and fruitiness we wanted, we had to sample many apple varieties to find the perfect flavors. after tasting 10+ different options, we found that Ernestina and verdialona were perfect for our vision… sweet, slightly bitter and full of ripe fruit notes. both varieties are typically used for blending with other apples to add ripe fruit flavors. this sidra moderna is their big debut in a lead role and we couldn’t be more pleased with the richness and depth of this dynamic duo.
