344: Ciders that are Playing with Aging | Ragged Hill Cider, MA

Cider on the Table like Fine Wine at Ragged Hill

Steve Garwood and daughter Anne Garwood Hampp are the mastermind duo at Ragged Hill Cider based in West Brookfield, Massachusetts.

They brought a selection of bottles to taste through and we started with the Baldwin.

"Body gives you a perception of fullness and sweetness" is how Steve Garwood describes the Baldwin, which is a Pet Nat cider ringing in a 7% alcohol by volume.

Says Steve Garwood, "It is a business reason for us to make ciders that will improve in time."

Anne Garwood Hampp, Louise and Steve Garwood.
