raditional Ciders from True Cider Apples Farnum Hill Ciders are dry and complex, wine-like but, at 6.5-8.5%, less alcoholic than grape wines. (Most dry wines contain between 11% and 15% alcohol.) On Farnum Hill we grow true cider apples of English, French, and American origin. Peculiar-tasting when fresh, cider apples produce gorgeous aromas, flavors and sensations after pressing, fermenting, and blending by the respectful cidermaker. The English and European varieties that flourish here attain highly concentrated flavors in this extreme New Hampshire climate. Join discussion...
