Son of Man - Txiki Cider (12 oz)
Son of Man's Txiki Cider is super tart with nice complexity. Txiki means “little” in Euskara, the Basque language. Txiki (pronounced chee-kee) blends just two little apple varieties, but it’s big on flavor. Fermented spontaneously, then aged for 6 months exclusively in stainless steel. No added sulfites. This vintage has notes of lime and coriander seed. Txiki’s unique blend includes 50% Columbia Crabapple and 50% Muscadet de Dieppe
About Son of Man: Inspired by the generations of cidermakers in Northern Spain, Son of Man sets out to make exceptional Basque-style cider. From the Hood River area of Oregon, an area rich in soil and therefore excellent fruit production. Head cider-maker Jasper Smith and his Spanish-style ciders have quickly become favorites of cider drinkers in the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Son of Man's ciders are made true to the traditions of Basque Country in Northern Spain: wild-fermented, no added sulfites, blended and fermented in large barrels, then aged for 6 months before packaging. Each year a new vintage of their flagship Sagardo is released - bottled still (no carbonation) and intended to be poured from a height to aerate and carbonate the cider, a couple gulps at a time. Jasper also partners with some of the finest restaurants, bars, and cider shops to create a special blend to be enjoyed in their establishment with their food offerings - another nod to the cider traditions of Basque Country. Each year they release a series of fun canned ciders, some of the most enjoyable and traditional cider available in cans. Delicious stuff, best enjoyed with food.
