We use cold pressure fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging in either stainless or oak barrels depending on the expression. Every batch is filtered for crystal clarity and sterile final filtration to preserve the pure, bold flavours of Okanagan apples. No shortcuts, no pasteurization—just craft.

Premium starts with the source. We use only Okanagan Valley apples, cold pressure fermentation, and aging in oak barrels or stainless steel—never rushing the process. Every batch is filtered for crystal clarity and sterile final filtration. We bottle in glass to preserve flavour and presentation, and we never pasteurize. It's craft cider made without compromise, from terroir-driven fruit to the bold, complex expressions in every bottle.

Every apple is sourced from BC's Okanagan Valley, one of Canada's premier fruit-growing regions. The valley's unique terroir—warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soil—produces apples with exceptional flavour and character. That's the foundation of every bottle we make.

We use sterile filtration to remove unwanted elements, but we also add sulphites to the final product as an extra safeguard to ensure quality and freshness. No pasteurization, no artificial ingredients, no shortcuts—just Okanagan apples, craft fermentation, sterile filtration, and sulphites for preservation.

Our core range includes barrel-aged expressions with rich, complex character, hopped ciders with aromatic punch, and fruit-infused varieties that showcase seasonal ingredients. Each is crafted to highlight the terroir of the Okanagan Valley with the precision and intention of a winemaker.

Our ciders range from 6-7.5% ABV depending on the expression. Each product page lists the specific ABV for that bottle. This can also change from year.
