Drink of the Week: Wölffer Rosé Cider
With rosé season winding
down and cider season ramping up, today’s Drink of the Week couldn’t be more
apropos. Combining the two into one lovely package, Wölffer Rosé Cider ferments
the fresh-pressed juice of New York-grown dessert apples (Braeburn, McIntosh
and Fuji, among others) with a delicate wine yeast, and lets it rest on the
lees before bottling. A subtle pink color comes from the late addition of an
extract made from red grape skins for an extra winey effect. Uncap it with
everything from seasonal salads to hearty roasts.
