The Similkameen Valley is one of the hottest regions in the British Columbia wine scene and is now on the map for cider. Since the summer of 2014, Twisted Hills has continued to serve and sell out of their craft ciders in the valley’s southern corner. Owned and operated by wife-and-husband team Kaylan Madeira and Jo Schneider, the young farming couple planted their own organic orchard, comprised of cider apple varieties used exclusively for cider.
One of the latest blends from the couple is the Calville’s Winter uses these traditional cider apples but also highlights the Calvill Blanc d’Hiver, a French culinary apple, in the unique blend. A soft aromatic nose of apple, passionfruit and pineapple rinsing onto the palate, the yellow apple juices and papaya flavors pull away with radiant acid, pliable tannin and a pure finish.
