Cozy Corner is our fourth (!) collaboration with our pals at Tilted Shed. Last year’s collab, Delicious Moments, was kind of a conceptual one. We wanted to see what a ØØ (nothing added, nothing taken away--the only ingredient being apples) Tilted Shed pét-nat would look like, and we had a bit of back and forth about what could work with the apples they had available to them. We settled on 100% Pink Pearl apples, as they were high acid (good for helping to preserve an additive-free cider) and might retain some of the gorgeous pink color of the juice if bottled pét-nat. We loved that cider. So beautiful looking and tasting.This year, we took a more hands on approach. Tilted Shed ferments many of their apples as varietal ciders that are then deftly blended to create their brilliant lineup. To make Cozy Corner, Tilted Shed let us take over the blending. A small crew of Redfielders headed to Windsor to taste a lineup of varietal ciders and build a blend.The first cider that grabbed our attention was made from the rare Burford Red Flesh apple. It was deep red and ludicrously tannic. It tasted incredibly distinctive--musty and cranberrylike and really powerful. We knew it had to be in the blend, so we built around it. We had tannin covered, but the Burford cider was anything but balanced. Gold Rush added richness. Jonathan added lush, fruity aromatics. Pink Pearl added acidity. After tweaking the balance juuuuust so, we decided to throw in a splash of Redfield juice (because, well, duh), and suddenly, we had a cider we loved. Cozy Corner was born.It’s got a beautiful blush color from the anthocyanin-rich juices of the Burford, Pink Pearl, and Redfield apples and a cute label that lives up to the juice inside. We hope you love it!Apple Varieties: Organically-grown Gold Rush (40%), Jonathan (30%), Burford Red Flesh (20%), Pink Pearl (10%), Redfield and Purple Crab (a pinch)
