Introducing
HEAVY BRANCH CIDERY

BRUT
Heavy Branch Brut Cider bottle with flute – premium ultra-dry, naturally sparkling hard cider.
We are proud to introduce Heavy Branch Cidery Brut, an exquisitely dry, premium hard cider crafted to delight the palates of cider connoisseurs and sparkling wine enthusiasts. Heavy Branch Cidery Brut exemplifies sophistication, offering a harmonious blend of French tradition and American innovation that distinguishes it from other ciders.

Heavy Branch Cidery Brut features a pale straw color, reminiscent of sunlit autumn orchards. Its clarity and brilliance attest to the careful craftsmanship and promise an inviting sensory experience.

Heavy Branch Cidery Brut impresses with every sip. The graceful unfolding of the orchard's richness is complemented by the barrel’s light oaky notes. An ideal balance of dryness, acidity, and natural effervescence showcases the true character of carefully selected apples, curated yeasts, and the Charmat method.

The result is an unmistakably dry, naturally sparkling cider that is refined, understated, and effortlessly indulgent. Heavy Branch Cidery Brut pairs perfectly with food and fits any occasion. It has the elegance for a celebratory toast or the authenticity to elevate one of life’s simple, joyful moments.     
 


Crafting Elegance
From Branch to Bottle

Blue Ridge foothill orchard – the mid-Atlantic terroir behind Heavy Branch Cider.


Heavy Branch Cidery and our orchard partners benefit from the mid-Atlantic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains' terroir. The region’s warm days, cool nights, varying elevations, and mineral-rich soils create an ideal environment for our orchard partners. We thoughtfully select from the region’s apple varietals based on the fruit’s sweetness, acidity, and tannins.


Our apples are freshly pressed, and, like the renowned Champagne houses in France, we blend our juice to achieve a consistently perfect flavor profile.
 
Oak barrels are used for Heavy Branch Cider’s primary fermentation to enhance the character of the cider.

Heavy Branch Cidery uses a cherished French family recipe. We carefully craft our cider from apple juice and yeast, which is slowly fermented in oak casks. This process gives our ciders depth and complexity.


When the primary fermentation is complete, Heavy Branch Cider finishes with a secondary fermentation in stainless-steel Charmat tanks. This secondary fermentation naturally carbonates our ciders. Once they reach the desired level of bubbles, our ciders are bottled and ready for you to enjoy!
