Northern Spy is a classic for us. But this vintage is a little different.

In 2021 a late spring frost decimated the crop, so we blended it with a single barrel of 2020 Spy we'd thankfully set aside.

Nature made this blend, but she knew what she was doing.

What's it like? Spy this year has mellow acidity and a combination of apple and oak tannin that builds with each sip. It drinks like a funky French cidre; a beautiful and textural expression of the fruit. The tannins lift citrus pith and Viognier memories, without any sweetness at all.

I Spy

I'm a big fan of this apple variety and this did not disappoint. Like the memory of biting into a northern spy apple, but not too sweet. The funky aftertaste balances it out. It was a crowd pleaser at my housewarming party - will definitely buy more.

Hello old friend!

I grew up in Niagara in the 1960s when it was almost all orchard (instead of those damned vineyards ; ) and Northern Spy was grown widely….so I was very pleasantly surprised to see a cider made with Northern Spy.

Unbelievably clean and refreshing with a really mellow citrusish/oakey riff and compares admirably to Norman and Spanish ciders/cidra...different from these but a happy Canuck cousin to be sure.
