Templar’s Choice Blackberry Blush

The Templar name comes from Adam and Anne Bland’s Normandy Knights Templars Seigneurie farmhouse in the Pays d’Auge. The area from where the blackberries come enjoys a complete biodynamic balance and abounds in insects, birds, wildlife and wildflowers. The farm’s 45 acres not only produce wonderful apples, but great blackberries, too. Here, whole farm blackberries are co-fermented with pure, freshly pressed AOC cider apples, keeved* and fermented over the winter months for bottling in the spring where a small, secondary fermentation creates a natural sparkle.
