Chatter Creek Ciders

Our Modern Ciders

Pilot Project, Golden Cider

This is a winemaker’s take on how to make cider. Balance and structure are the keys for a cider that is perfect to accompany cheese, charcuterie, seafood and chicken. Even hot or spicy dishes are enhanced by this cider. Truly a cider for the table!

This structure is achieved by blending ciders crafted from English bittersweet apple varieties for aroma and mouth-feel with sharper dessert apples to refresh the palate. The cider is golden in color where the acidity and sweetness are in balance and present a natural apple flavor. Light tannins, notes of honey, stone fruit and pineapple are presented with a medium carbonation.
ABV 6.9%, rs 20g/l, CO2 2.0 volumes.
Abailable in 500ml bottle $10 and in 1/6 barrel (20lt) keg $225

Chaider Clipper, Cider with chi spices

Complex spice notes are well balanced with fresh apple tartness to deliver warmth and brightness. Perfect as crisp autumn sun gives way to the damp chill of winter.
Chaider Clipper is infused with a personal chai spice blend and then sweetened with clover honey. Black pepper and cardamom shine along with wonderful aromatics adding to the fruitiness of the blended cider. A touch of honey enhances the aroma and balances the sharp apple but does not add sweetness. It all comes together as spicy, robust and elegant.
ABV 6.9%, CO2 2.0 volumes.
Abailable in 500ml bottle $10 and in 1/6 barrel (20lt) keg $225

Luya, Cider infused with Ginger

We go the extra mile using fresh ginger root, cut and pressed to produce a sweet and pungent ginger essence. We do not macerate the root that could add notes of bitterness or use concentrate.
Luya is blended and sweetened further with Clover Honey. The ginger and apple aromas play nicely together. It has a fresh ginger snap that supports the fruit characters of the cider. The ginger is refreshing and lingers on the palate. Perfect for a hot summer day or quite fireside contemplation. Pairs exceptionally well sweet and hot foods. BBQ and stir-fries have met their cider match.
ABV 6.9%, CO2 2.0 volumes.
Abailable in 500ml bottle $10 and in 1/6 barrel (20lt)=(40 bottles) keg $225

Barrel Roll, Apple Cider aged Whiskey Barrels

This cider is aged for four months in American Oak Bourbon Whiskey barrels from JP Trodden distillery, our neighbors in Woodinville, WA. It is bone dry and displays the balance of oak and apple aromas and a light acidity. With a light straw appearance, the cider is low in final carbonation so as to allow the vanilla and whisky notes to shine.
ABV 9.1%, CO2 2.0 volumes.

Seasonal Ciders

Plumb and Spice

Released around the holidays.

Built on a semi-sweet dessert apple base, plum juice and chai spices are blended in for a cider touting sharp-tartness from the thick-skinned plum juice. Warming, spiced fruit fills a palate full then quickly dries and shows spice more as seasoning than sweetness, finishing tart, tangy and festive. Now available in our on line store.
ABV 6.5%, rs 30g/l, CO2 2.0 volumes.

Rosecco

A year round favorite.

At Chatter Creek, we know a thing or two about Rosé. Our Rosécco cider brings a refreshing suite of mixed berry to a crisp and dry cider. A full fruity nose introduces a depth of flavor that satisfies while sipping on a sunny summer deck or backs smoked salmon and chevre hor d’oeuvres.
ABV 6.5%, CO2 2.0 volumes
