Crafted from a blend of Airlie Red and Karmijn de Sonneville apples sourced from family farms in the Willamette & Kings Valleys in Oregon.

[This] is made from 100% Vashon Island pears, featuring Nashi’s own estate-grown Shinsseiki and perry pears as well as foraged seedling pears. Fruit forward pear flavor with a slight residual sweetness makes this a great partner for salmon and spicy food. - RAW Cider Brut Nature 7.5% ABV
