Bauman's Cider - Apple Mistelle (375 mL)
Bauman's Cider's Mistelle is made from a blend of apple brandy and lightly fermented ice cider. Aged in neutral oak for three years before bottling. Divine stuff, and very limited!
What is an Apple Mistelle? Put simply, it's synonymous with Pommeau. An aperitif made by blending apple brandy and fresh apple juice, then barrel aging it for several months or even years. A growing number of American cider makers are encouraging the use of the name Mistelle in place of Pommeau, as in different regions of France there are protections and regulations in place concerning how and where a Pommeau is made.

Why we love Bauman's Cider: Bauman's Cider is an award winning cidery based in Oregon's Willamette Valley, just south of Portland. Christine Walter is a fifth-generation farmer and the head cidermaker at Bauman's. Bauman's Farm in Gervais, Oregon was originally homesteaded by her Great-Great-Grandmother Elizabeth and her sons Stephen and Leo in 1895. In the early 1900’s, Stephen began making cider on the farm for family and friends alike to enjoy. Upon learning of her family's history of making cider, and armed with a degree in biochemistry, Christine has revived her Great-Grandpa Stephen’s legacy by blending modern cidermaking with heritage methods using fruit grown and harvested on their own farm, and in partnership with other orchardists in the region.
The fruit grown in the Willamette Valley is highly regarded and makes for some excellent cider. Bauman's Cider includes four distinct product lines that range from juicy and modern, to traditional and nuanced. Whether you prefer traditional ciders or modern, flavored ciders, Bauman's Cider truly has something for everyone! Their traditional ciders are amongst some of our favorite American ciders, and include a series of single-varietal ciders and artfully crafted blends. Bauman's recently opened tasting room in Portland, Oregon - Bauman's On Oak - is one of the finest cider & dining experiences anywhere in the U.S. We're pleased to offer a wide variety of Bauman's Ciders and make them available for cider fans to have them shipped across the country.
