Our Process. Our Pride.
Every decision we make prioritizes flavour, aroma, and complexity. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just bold cider.
Step 1: Pressure Fermentation
Cold-Pressure Fermentation in Stainless Steel
We ferment our cider under controlled pressure in stainless steel tanks. Cold pressure fermentation is part of our process for building flavour and aroma.
Step 2: Stainless Steel Vessels
Stainless Steel Fermentation Vessels
We use food-grade stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Stainless steel is the vessel we choose for our controlled fermentation process.
Step 3: Real Fruit Addition
Real Fruit Purée: Bold, Authentic Fruit-Forward Ciders
After fermentation, selected expressions receive real fruit purée. Strawberry Ciderita is available by request only and returns next season.

Step 4: Rack Filtration & Aging
Rack Filtration & Barrel Aging
After fermentation, we rack-filter every batch — clearing spent yeast before transferring to either stainless steel or oak for aging.
The choice isn't arbitrary. Stainless locks in freshness, brightness, and clean fruit character. Oak builds depth, tannin, and a complexity that takes time to earn.
The vessel is chosen for the expression. Every rack, every transfer, intentional.
Step 5: Triple Filtration
Filtration for Clarity
We filter our cider during aging and again before bottling to achieve the clarity we want. Filtration is one part of our process.
Step 6: Precision Bottling & Carbonation
Bottling & Controlled Carbonation
After filtration, we bottle in 750 ml glass using counter-pressure filling and controlled carbonation. Each bottle is inspected before it leaves the cidery.
Step 7: Premium Glass Packaging
750 ml Glass Bottles with Crown Caps
We package our cider in 750 ml glass bottles sealed with crown caps. This is the format we choose for our cider.
Why Our Process Matters
No shortcuts. No compromises.
We don't pasteurise our cider. We focus on flavour, aroma and complexity through our process choices: 100% Okanagan apples, with other fruit sourced from BC growers, cold pressure fermentation in stainless steel, barrel aging for selected expressions, and filtration before bottling.
This is our approach to making bold Okanagan cider.
