It is a very firm, coarse fleshed, sweet and tart apple with spicy character excellent for pies, sweet and hard cider, and wine. Winemaking Apples are crushed and pressed and the juice settled. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks then aged in American oak barrels for 3-6 months. The wine is bottled with less than 1% residual reducing sugar. Aging In the bottle the wine ages well for 1-2 years, but is ready to drink as soon as it rests for a fortnight after bottling.
