Brys Estate’s Signature Cider

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | July 27, 2024

We love a drink that can multitask, and Brys Estate’s new Signature Cider is a real flavor flex—in more ways than one! The brainchild of winemaker Coenraad Stassen, this world class wine-meets-cider combo starts with a 50-50 split of Northern Spy and Golden Delicious apples co-fermented, courtesy of Townline Ciderworks, with hundreds of pounds of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The result is a crisp and sessionable sip with a stone-fruity palette with notes of apple and pear backed up by the bright aromatics of a dry white wine and a satisfyingly smooth finish. If you kick back on the winery’s deck with a glass, you’ll also be doing two things at once! Find it by the can or six-pack ($19.99) at Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery (3309 Blue Water Rd.) in Traverse City. brysestate.com
