Peak Light Cider - Orchard Reserve Quince Cider (750 mL)
Peak Light's Orchard Reserve Quince Cider blends several varieties of quince (including Pineapple Quince and Smyrna Quince) and late maturing apples (primarily Winesap and Baldwin) to produce a cider with delightful botanical and floral undertones. This cider drinks semi-dry with just a touch of residual sweetness that helps the quince shine. A beautiful expression of quince with supporting notes of wild rose, honeycomb, and tangerine. Quince lovers, this one is a must try!
Tasting Notes: One of the finest quince expressions you’ll ever find in your glass. Clean, tropical quince up front supported by light sweetness and perfectly complimentary rush of mouthwatering acidity. Floral notes, key lime pie, sweet lime.
About Peak Light Cider: One of our favorite Oregon cideries, Peak Light is a family run farm and cidery based on Sauvie Island. Located just a few minutes drive northwest of Portland, Sauvie Island is a tranquil island covered in farmland and surrounded by the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. From the top of Peak Light's sloped estate orchard you can see four of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic mountains - Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, an Mount Hood. Jen and Travis Lovejoy adhere to principles of organic and biodynamic farming, with a holistic effort to maximize biodiversity in their orchard. They craft fine ciders using traditional cider apple varieties, quince, and other fruit grown on their home orchard, with some fruit coming from other like-minded local farmers. The result is a variety of exceptional ciders that provide a high quality farm-to-bottle experience.
Fun label design notes: The gorgeous mountain view from their orchard is depicted in the die cut along the bottom edge of each of their cider's labels. See the four peaks?Also the grid on the cider's label represents each tree in their orchard, with the varieties used in each bottle and the trees the fruit came from highlighted. How cool is that?
