Solstice: A Cider Masterpiece Peckham's Cider has crafted a true gem with their Solstice cider. This traditional cider is a captivating blend of sweet Alford juice and Kingston black apples, caramelized over a roaring wood fire and then wild fermented and aged in oak barrels. The result is an intense cider bursting with toffee and rich, baked apple flavors. Blended with a dry cider made from late bittersweet cider apples, Solstice strikes a perfect balance, with a medium body and a hint of caramel. This cider is a delightful companion to a cozy winter bonfire, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Peckham's team. Crafted with a careful selection of apples, including Chisel Jersey, Dabinett, Muscadet, Browns, and Yarlington Mill, and fermented with wild yeasts, Solstice is a true celebration of the cider-maker's art. Aged for 10 months in oak, this cider has developed a depth of flavor that is sure to delight the senses.
