Trabanco - Alicia Sidra de Asturias (750 mL)

Trabanco's Alicia is the first Sidra de Autor, or “author’s cider” from the Trabanco cidery, the result of a lifetime’s work for Samuel Trabanco. Alicia is a single-varietal cider made from the historic Martina apple, a nearly forgotten delicious red Asturian varietal. They carefully select the best of the Martina varietal from their estate in Asturias in Northern Spain. Made by fermenting the crushed apples on their skins in their 100-year-old chestnut barrels to create this fresh, complex cider, still containing a small amount of residual carbon dioxide (a slight, pettilant sparkle). Their orchards in the Lavandera valley and neighboring villages are planted on steep hillsides with limestone-rich soils, giving their fruit a very distinctive terroir. 

This cuvée is named for Samuel’s mother, Alicia, who used to guide him and his brothers in carefully picking their apple orchards, surrounded by the dense and wild forests of Lavandera, just 10km from the Cantabrian Sea. Alicia is a look back at these memories and an entire lifetime of experience: at an autumn harvest, at a mother and her family, and at this heritage as seen through the eyes of a child. Alicia is a very personal cider for Samuel, meant to be enjoyed at the table, with food, in a similar fashion to white wine. 

Asturian ciders are increasingly hard to come by in the U.S., so we're thrilled to newly have access to this cider. It's also rare to receive a single-varietal expression from Spain, as well as one with some natrual carbonation. Sure to please fans of Spanish Cider. A very limited number of these bottles are available. 

Tasting Notes: Dry cider (drinks slightly off-dry) with medium-plus acidity and medium-minus to low tannins. Clean & crisp with notes of green apple skin, lemon, a candy-like floral note, green melon, and star fruit. A slight grapefruit peel bitterness and crisp mineral note on the finish, with a soft nutty character from time spent on the lees. Delightful. 

We also carry the sparkling cider from Trabanco, Poma Aurea, as well as their apple cider based Vermouth, Alma Quinquina en RamaClick Here to browse our collection of Trabanco Cider products

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.
