Patois Cider Bricolage 2021

Patois Cider is based in Crozet, Virginia in the heart of the historic apple country -- Virginia has a deep history (on a colonial timeline) of apple cultivation, from homesteads to the post-Civil War boom in production and exportation. The project is run by Patrick Collins and his partner Danielle LeCompte, and they completed their first commercial vintage in 2019. They focused on producing ciders that express the wild fruit and terroir of small pockets of Virginia. Everything is hand harvest, no spray practices in an old-growth orchard, and fermenting with little/no SO2.
