Greenpoint Cidery is a one-woman project by Nika Carlson: owner, grower, and fermenter. Greenpoint Cidery makes handcrafted, natural cider and folk wines, coming to you from Hudson, NY via Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
“I grow local wild apples I discovered and grafted into my orchard, support local farmers growing American fruit, and forage fruits, herbs and flowers from the land surrounding my home, all of which make it into my naturally fermented ciders and wines. In so doing, I hope to help shift the frame of what we value in wine and in agriculture, both on our land and on our tables.”
I just had a bottle of “Revvy dog” with friends. This dry cider is aged with young black walnuts, and conditioned with real maple syrup, and offers a completely different taste sensation. It offered a wonderful experience something like a cross between cider and fine sparkling wine, but with a savory, nutty note. This cider was made for food. I instantly craved steamed clams or roasted chicken with root vegetables.
Carlson in small steps is wow-ing the cider world, and it’s no wonder. Looking forward to tasting more from Greenpoint Cidery! The future of boutique cider is bright!
