Picking

Doc’s is made only from the freshest apple juice and never from concentrate.  The apple harvest is the most important step in producing award-winning cider.  It is the critical time of year, where we spot pick apples directly from the trees to ensure the highest quality fruit.  Our seasonal varietals follow the same harvest & production principals.  The best fruit produces the best cider.  

Pressing

Each hand selected apple travels from the orchard to the apple press.  Here, we extract an unfiltered, unaltered, sweet, delicious juice to create the base for our cider.

Fermenting

We slowly ferment our fresh apple juice using enzymes and a champagne-styled yeast.  Transforming sweet apple juice into award-winning cider is a process we’ve developed over the last 20 years, and it is both a science and an art.  

Filtering

Once we’ve reached the ideal fermentation and flavor profile, we chill filter the cider to ensure purity and clarity in the glass.
