Dwinell's Duke is a fruited cyser. Originally made as an oak-fermented mead made with Duke blueberries, later re-fermented with apple cider. 

Spontaneous, Orchard Based, Pét-Nat Ciders

Dwinell's ciders are an orchard-based product made once a year. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, without the use of lab-grown yeast or addition of sulfites. These wild ciders ferment for upwards of 100 days in stainless steel tanks at refrigeration temperatures. The cold, repressed fermentation enables Dwinell to retain and, in turn, showcase the delicate aromatic structure of each cider blend. This slowed ferment also allows for the natural sedimentation of pectin to occur without the use of lab-derived clarifying agents or application of mechanical filters. Each cider is then packaged prior to the end of fermentation, resulting in a fine, natural carbonation to develop in package - a traditional method commonly known as pétillant natural or “pét-nat.” Their fruit flavored ciders are made by using one of their existing, fully fermented ciders, and re-fermenting it with fresh, seasonal fruit grown locally from farms they partner with. 

Cider apples from E.Z. Orchards: 

Kevin Zielinski’s family have been orchardists in the Willamette Valley since the 1920s. Today his family-owned and operated farm produces apples, pear, peaches, and hazelnuts. In 2000, Kevin started producing cider specific apples. He grows French and English bittersweets, together with American semi-sharps. In 2009, Kevin released his first French-style cider. He continued to release fermented cider blends and a pommeau over the course of several vintages, but has ceased production to focus on his orchard operations. Kevin is a partner and mentor in Dwinell's orchard operation and cider production. Currently, all of the apples and pears used in Dwinell's cider blends are from E.Z. Orchards in Salem, Oregon.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

  • Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
  • Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
  • East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

  • We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
  • Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
  • Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
  • The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
  • Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
  • We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order. 

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.
