Apples: Northern Spy

Grapes: Teroldego (native to the north of Italy but this came from Southold in Long Island)

Sweetheart is a cider and wine grape experiment!

Northern Spy apples were fermented until dry and aged in tanks for 1 year. After the Teroldego was pressed off for our wine in 2018, we transferred 2 barrels of the cider onto the spent grape skins and let it age for 2
months before pressing into neutral oak for another 4 months. No additional SO2 was added at this point or during bottling. Bottled with local wildflower honey to referment in bottle.

Notes: Like pink Hawaiian Punch: tart, refreshing, and and tropical.

About Wild Arc: Todd Cavallo and his wife Crystal left Brooklyn in the summer of 2016 with very little experience with agriculture. They sought to create something new: a small, biodynamic, permaculture-focused farm in the Hudson Valley. They have since planted some vines, and in the meantime have made some excellent wines and cider co-ferments from purchased grapes (organic wherever possible) from the area.
