Kertelreiter Muskateller 2021 A new release, and a little story for you. In centuries past, both wine and cider makers often added selected herbs and spices to make a wine or cider taste more like another wine, or to just make them tastier. 🧵

A bottle of Kertelreiter Muskateller 2021 and a glass filled with golden cider. The label features an antiquarian watercolour of clary sage.

This is a great piece of observation by Adam on the opportunities for keg conditioned cider. Breaking into the draught market will be one of low intervention ciders greatest challenges.

There’s a round-up of 2023 by the various contributors to @ciderreview.bsky.social this morning, including @amethystheels.bsky.social. Mine feels a little darker than usual 😬🙂 It’s been an honour to contribute to the only site I know with such a collective of writers, dedicated to cider and perry.

Yeah but anti-abortion types lie. A lot. A LOT. It is why they get on so well with Republicans and vice versa.

Given my day of sorting and pressing today, Adam Wells’ wonderfully descriptive piece on @ciderreview.bsky.social brings it all together. The toil, as he summarises it, is the unseen part of making aspirational cider & why I always respect & want to support those makers doing everything themselves.

Good morning. A couple years ago I kicked off a project to plant a new meadow orchard dedicated to rare and endangered perry pear varieties. Thanks to wonderful sponsors, we will be planting 48 trees probably next month. But I have been working on a phase 2, and yesterday that came a step closer…
