West County Cider continues the centuries-old cider making tradition and adds some modern refinements.
We provide a wide variety of hard ciders for the table, from very dry to sweet. Some have a champagne-like flavor, while others are more robust with tannins from traditional American and European cider apples.
We use fruit from our own orchard of traditional and untraditional cider varieties as well as apples grown by other New England orchards. Commercial yeast is added; occasionally we use the wild yeast on the apples. West County Ciders stand out by the simplicity of our ingredients: whole apples, a little yeast, and a bit of sulfite (found in nearly all wines). No sugars, water, flavorings, sorbate, carbon dioxide, or concentrates are used in any of our ciders, allowing for a crisp, clean apple taste in every bottle.
