Shacksbury Cider, based in Vermont, is known for crafting ciders that highlight heirloom apple varieties and wild fermentation. Arlo is their take on a naturally fermented, wine-inspired cider—made with a mix of tannic, bittersweet apples and tart, high-acid varieties, creating a complex yet easy-drinking profile. Fermented with native yeasts and aged to develop texture, this cider straddles the line between traditional dry cider and pét-nat-style natural wine.

Bright green apple, lemon peel, and white flowers lead the aromatics, while a subtle earthiness and hint of wild herbs add depth. The palate is bone-dry and lightly effervescent, with zippy acidity and a touch of natural funk that gives it an unfiltered, living quality. Compared to sweeter or more commercial ciders, Arlo leans into freshness, making it incredibly versatile and food-friendly.

Perfect for cheese boards, roast chicken, or salty snacks, this is a cider that feels as at home in a wine glass as it does straight from the can. Best enjoyed well-chilled, it’s a refreshing, low-alcohol option that appeals to cider lovers and natural wine drinkers alike.
