In the words of Troddenvale:

"This spring release features some of our stalwarts that we have produced since our first commercial vintage back in 2018. And even though so much of our production has been highly focused singular expressions of cider, The House cider might be one of the most important to us.

Great cider doesn’t need to be fussy nor esoteric. Great cider in many ways needs to be humble, approachable, and honest.

We started Troddenvale knowing that no matter what direction it took, we wanted to be able to offer something versatile, something we could substantially produce at a valued price point, and generate more thought about what it means to be a Virginian cider.

This vintage features a very diverse “pomage” of over 20 different varieties with a gang of russets leaving their imprint in the profile of cider. Less citrusy and slightly more tannic than previous years thanks to the contributions from Foggy Ridge. We are excited to see how this vintage evolves in bottle." 

About Troddenvale

Troddenvale strips away modern techniques and dogmatic notions of the commercial beverage industry. Through patience and minimal intervention, they explore uncharted territory in fruit expression. Working with true cider apple varietals (and now grapes as well!) limits the need of flavor-enhancing adjuncts and corrections. They rely purely on native microbial populations, gaining incomparable complexity and individuality. Fermenting in neutral oak creates depth and builds microflora continuity.
