Wolffer No. 139 Oishii Cider - is made exclusively from apples grown in New York State. The delicious apples in this very special cider are grown by the Halsey Family in Bridgehampton.

Winemakers Notes
Our Oishii cider is clear with a light yellow and slight green hue. The aroma is full of floral notes, fresh apples, and a hint of pineapple and fine nutty characters. The mouth-feel is clean, elegant and smooth with nice fruity notes and a classic richness from the start to the long creamy sophisticated finish. The Oishii Cider is enlivened by a lovely touch of soft acidity and a dash of astringency that is making it very savory. 

Pairing
Served chilled, it is beautiful for sipping on its own or try it in your favorite cocktail like a negroni or to smooth out your martini. It will be perfect with Sashimi of course, as well as tonkotsu ramen. Outside of tradition Japanese dishes, spicy Latin dishes and or even hard cheese would be a great pairing! Oishii cider will give great balance to your meal and is a classy addition to any dinner or party.

Technical Data
All the apples for this traditional cider are from the 2021 growing season and handpicked from the beautiful Halsey Farm in Bridgehampton, New York! 2021 was a perfect year to grow apples, a warm year with plenty of rain followed by a mild fall. The conditions were ideal for ripe flavors and a good healthy crop. Through a selective taste test, the percentage of each of the apples listed above was chosen to determine a balance and subtle complexity in the blend. The fruit was press on April 8", 2022, and the juice was well-settled then carefully racked of any sediment. The clean juice was moved and prepared for fermentation with our specially created, well-guarded proprietary method. Using the house Ginjo Style Sake Yeast from Brooklyn Kura was a key element for the success of this new creation. The fermentation took a lot of patience and lasted almost 3 months. Our Oishii Cider was filtered and bottled in September of 2022 and only 1,106 cases where made.
