Platinum Sparkling Cider

Pop the bottle - It’s time to celebrate! Whether to toast a triumph, mark a milestone, or simply savour a moment, Platinum cider is the perfect accompaniment. Our heirloom apples shine in Platinum, which delights the palate with gentle effervescence and notes of fresh apple and cut grass.

First released in 2024, this scintillating, semi-dry cider marks Sea Cider’s 20-year “platinum” anniversary since setting sail from our Mt. St. Michael orchard on Vancouver Island. We raise a glass to this milestone and the voyage ahead!

How We Make This Cider

Our cider apples are harvested, milled, and juiced with careful supervision to ensure the highest quality juice is ready for fermentation. Fermentation is carried out with carefully selected champagne yeast, and cool temperatures are maintained during fermentation to preserve the fresh aromas in this celebratory cider.

Heirloom Series

Traditional European cider varietals and heritage North American apple varietals are the focus of our Heirloom Series. For centuries, British and European cidermakers have used cider-specific varietals to impart complexity in cider that ordinary eating apples cannot achieve. Cider made from bittersweet and bittersharp varietals in places like Herefordshire and Somerset delivers earthy phenolic aromas and appealing astringency that, to this day, distinguishes this style of cider as “the cider for cidermakers”.  Most of the varietals we grow at Sea Cider are of this lineage, and include Dabinetts, Kingston Blacks, Chisel Jerseys and Yarlington Mills. 

Sea Cider’s Heirloom Series of ciders pays tribute to apples that have stood the test of time and produced some of the world’s finest cider. The ciders in this series are handcrafted on our farm and have been developed to highlight the robust varietals deeply rooted in tradition.

Products in the Heirloom Series include, in preferred tasting order: Perry; Wild English; Flagship; Platinum; Kings & Spies; Bittersweet; Pippins.
