Winesap Cider Juice

America's Heirloom Cider Apple — Pressed and Frozen

Winesap is one of North America's oldest and most beloved apple varieties, and its juice is something special. Spicy, winey, and deeply aromatic, it brings a character to fermentation that modern varieties simply can't replicate. Rich in natural sugars with a lively acidity, Winesap juice produces ciders that are bright, complex, and unmistakably distinctive.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the full aromatic intensity of this heirloom variety at peak harvest. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it on your schedule, not ours.
