Sensory Description:
The cider pours a pale, straw-gold color with a fine, lively sparkle reminiscent of Champagne. On the nose, delicate aromas of fresh-cut apple, light citrus zest, and subtle yeast notes emerge. The palate delivers a crisp, bone-dry character with bright green apple, hints of pear, and a clean mineral finish. A touch of tart acidity balances the light fruit sweetness, while the Champagne yeast lends an elegant effervescence that lingers gracefully on the palate.
Producer's Background:
Founded in 1993 by British cider enthusiast Jeffrey House, The California Cider Company (Ace Cider) is among the first craft cideries established on the West Coast.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C in a Champagne flute or tulip glass to highlight its sparkling finesse. Ideal food pairings include fresh oysters, grilled shrimp, sushi rolls, roasted chicken, goat cheese salads, and light vegetable pastas. Its clean profile also complements salty snacks like Marcona almonds or prosciutto-wrapped melon.
