Discover the 2025 Seasonal Ciders from the Heart of Hood River
If you’re a fan of artisanal beverages crafted with passion and precision, Double Mountain’s 2025 seasonal cider lineup is a must-try. These six ciders—Perry, Ashmead, Estate, Maybelline, Zora, and Harrison—are beautiful reflections of the Hood River Valley’s rich terroir. Crafted using locally sourced fruit and traditional fermentation methods, each cider captures the pure essence of apples and pears, free from any artificial sweetness.
At Double Mountain, heritage meets innovation, as the ciders showcase fruit primarily from nearby orchards, including their own Swihart Orchards. These wild apples are fermented with native yeast and aged thoughtfully, producing ciders that tell a story of the land and the dedicated growers behind them.
Savor the Unique Flavors of Each Cider
Perry, a homage to the Hood River’s renowned pears, enchants with its elegant, aromatic profile and just the right touch of tannins. Ashmead revives the characterful Ashmead’s Kernel apple, offering an old-world orchard flavor with bright acidity and a full-bodied finish, perfect for traditional cider enthusiasts.
The distinguished Estate cider stands out with its dry and earthy complexity, crafted from cider apples grown on Double Mountain’s own grounds. Meanwhile, Maybelline dazzles with her usual blend of apples and pears, delivering a crisp and dry start that evolves into delightful citrus and melon notes for a subtly mysterious finish.
Zora enters the scene as the untamed newcomer, offering a tart and juicy experience with a bold fermentation character for those who seek adventure in their cider. Harrison pays tribute to historical cider traditions with the use of a heritage apple from the 1700s, bringing a rich, golden complexity that celebrates the timeless allure of cider making.
