375 mL bottle of Eve's Cidery Essence Ice Cider

Eve's Cidery's Essence Ice Cider is made with juice cryo-concentrated before fermenting for 20 months in oak barrels. Cryo-concentration is a process of concentrating sugars through freezing prior to fermentation. The apple juice, pressed from apples grown on Eve's certified organic orchard, sits outside in the winter freezing and thawing, freezing and thawing. As the juice cycles through the winter days and nights, a sugar gradient forms and the water migrates to the outside of the tank, freezing solid as ice. The center of the tank holds progressively sweeter liquid. At a certain point, Eve's draws off that sugary portion— about 1/6th the original volume— to ferment into ice cider.

All of this conspires to make a very difficult environment for yeast to work. The sugars are dangerously high from a yeast’s perspective. So too are the concentrated acids, and the fermentation is always a little bit dicey. Close to 20 months later, the fermentation finally reached the desired alcohol. The result, we think, was worth the wait. Exquisite stuff.

This delightful ice cider drinks sweet with medium-plus to high acidity which balances the sweetness exceptionally. Low tannins. Flavor notes of rich sweet apple, caramel, sticky raisins, fig, green chestnut. Aromatics of chestnut and sticky raisins.

Price

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.
