Cider... generous, strong, sufficiently heady... excites and cleanses the stomach, strengthens the digestion and infallibly frees the kidney and bladder from breeding the gravel stone.
Royal Pippin
Royal Pippin
The Albemarle Pippin, besides being an exquisite dessert and culinary apple, makes a delightful single varietal cider. Royal Pippin has notes of pineapple and grape, with a well balanced acidity and a lush apple taste. It is a refreshing apertif and pairs splendidly with seafood and pork. 8.5% ABV
Tasting Notes
Royal Pippin is a wonderfully diverse cider, perfect for pairing with so many dishes. Roasted chicken over winter root vegetables, lemony scallops, poached salmon, even spicy carnitas or a firm, nutty cheese like Caromont Farm's Esmontonian all work well alongside this cider.
Why we like it
The Albemarle Pippin has a storied past; Queen Victoria and her subjects were so enamored of the taste of the Albemarle Pippin that they were willing to pay higher prices and forego the import tax on this richly flavored apple. Our Royal Pippin cider captures all the best aspects of this apple's essence superbly.
