Semi-dry sparkling blackberry cider made from a blend of B.C. cider apples and local blackberries. Vancouver Island’s native species is called ‘The Trailing Wild Blackberry,’ a cousin of the Himalayan Blackberry. Bramble Bubbly is produced by milling and juicing the apples, and adding champagne yeast to begin fermentation. Fermentation happens at cool temperatures to maximize the aromatics of the cider base. Finally, blackberries are added to achieve the rose hue and luscious blackberry flavor. Additional notes of green apple, orchard floor, and pastry. Tart and balanced with minimal tannins and a long, viscous finish.
This is an ideal sipper for the patio—thirst-quenching on its own for a summer day, or anytime with a salty snack. Pairs with salmon, summer salads, berries, outdoor barbecue, mild or sharp cheeses, cured meats, and poultry dishes. Also pairs well with desserts—warm apple and berry crumble, bite-sized bonbons, or vanilla ice cream.
