A SELECTION OF CIDERS UNIQUE IN QUEBEC
Our ciders celebrate an unsurpassed complexity with an interesting addition of tannins and acidity. Come try a new experience.
Black Creek cider products, named for the creek that crosses our property, is the result of several years of cultivating rarely grown varieties of English-style cider apples here in Quebec. Artisanal ciders made in the English tradition but distinctly different which offer a perfect balance of tannins and acidity.
RARE VARIETIES OF APPLES TO DISCOVER
The orchard, which to date consists of more than 1,000 apple trees, including more than forty varieties of apples, uses environmentally friendly growing methods, promoting the presence of natural pollinators and useful insects. Our blends produce fresh ciders, with a hint of bitterness in the finish. The natural effervescence of our ciders is achieved through a second fermentation in the bottle resulting in a unique taste.
Our ciders are made from a selection of apples such as RedField, Tremblett’s Bitter, Kingston Black, Ananas Reinette, King of Pippins, Reinette Russet and Golden Reinette as well as others that have exceptional characteristics.

This farmhouse cider fermented on its lees is a beverage with no equal. The maceration of cider apples with red fleshed apples allows the softening of the tannins as well as giving it its magnificent orange colour.
