2026 Cider Apple Juice, Russet Blend, Willamette Valley

$180.00
Only 2 available

Each pail includes five and quarter gallons of raw apple juice. Product will arrive partially frozen.

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Brix: 15.0 pH: 3.88

*Order White Wine Additive Kit for recommended yeast and additives

We are offering frozen cider apple juice pails! This pail is comprised of juice from heirloom apples that were specifically grown for making hard cider.

Roxbury Russet, Ashmead’s Kernel, Golden Russet

What to Expect

This later-ripening blend is expected to offer richness, concentration and aromatic complexity.

Compared with the bright, sharply acidic Wickson Crab Apple Blend, the Russet Blend should be rounder and more textured, with softer acidity, gentle tannins and deeper orchard-fruit character. Expect a cider with richness and structure that can stand beautifully on its own or add body and complexity to a blend.

Cider apples have elevated levels levels of tannin, acid, and sugar compared to grocery store apples and juice. So just like wine made from grocery store grapes is mediocre, cider made from grocery store apples or Motts juice is just not very good.
