Floral Terranes brings natural wine and cider philosophy to New York's North Fork with this Newtown Pippin Still Cider, capturing heritage apple traditions. Erik Longabardi and Benford Lepley, operating from Erik's Roslyn garage since 2017, dedicated themselves to preserving Long Island's agricultural legacy and regional traditions. This particular bottling uses 100% Newtown Pippin apples from Restoration Farm in Bethpage—a historic Queens apple variety grown on trees with 30+ year-old rootstock, completely unsprayed and naturally farmed. The fruit was harvested as 'drops' throughout October, then fermented in tank before being racked into barrel mid-fermentation in November for extended aging and complexity development. At 7.3% ABV, the cider achieves remarkable balance between the Newtown Pippin's tart, structured character and subtle sweetness from careful fermentation management. This is cider as terroir expression.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

100% Newtown Pippin apples from Restoration Farm in Bethpage, NY. This orchard supplies fruit from trees with 30+ year-old rootstock, and are totally unsprayed. The cider was made of fully ripened "drops" as opposed to fruit picked or shaken from the tree by hand. Harvested throughout the month of October, fermented in tank and racked into barrel towards the end of primary fermentation in mid November for aging. 7.3% abv.
