Fortified Raspberry Anne Still Cider

Raspberry Anne is inspired by the imaginative, talkative, red-haired protagonist of the
Canadian novel, Anne of Green Gables. Assertive notes of raspberry, apple and oak
end with a luscious, velvety finish. A west coast libation inspired by an east coast lass,
we raise a glass to the Maritimer who once said bright red drinks "taste twice as good as
any other colour.”

How We Make This Cider

This fortified cider is created by pressing and fermenting BC apples to create cider. We then work with a local Vancouver Island craft distiller to select premium spirits for the next step: fortification. Our cider is fortified with a small dosage of these local spirits, then infused with BC grown raspberries before being transferred into 20-litre oak barrels to age for up to one year. The result is an assertive oak-aged, fortified raspberry cider with a velvety, luscious finish.
