We were proud to pioneer the vinous cider style (grape & apple) in Virginia back in 2019. Now, we’re introducing a completely new take… Crab Franc.
A wine, cider, and spirit in one glass, this beguiling creation features a blend of Cabernet Franc grape with Hewe’s Crab apple, matured for one year in a Catoctin Creek Distilling Company brandy barrel. A shapeshifting enigma, Crab Franc both stimulates and bewilders the senses.
Color? Deep honey amber, or blood orange, or fervent red — all depending on the light. Aroma and flavor? Perhaps you’ll note the tannic magnetism of the grape, the electric acidity from the apple, the soothing sweet warmth of the spirit… maybe all three coalescing in a passionate dance upon the palate.
Taste for yourself. Available on tap only starting Friday, February 4.
