the story
Bramble Bubbly combines the best of BC cider apples and blackberries, the latter of which grow wild on Vancouver Island, including abundantly around our orchard. The native species, the Trailing Wild Blackberry, is a cousin of the Himalayan Blackberry, and is the only native blackberry species on Vancouver Island. It has been a traditional food source of First Nations people on the Island since time immemorial.
Bramble Bubbly is produced by milling then juicing BC apples, after which, champagne yeast is added to begin fermentation. Fermentation is done at cool temperatures to maximize the aromatics of the cider base. Thereafter, blackberry juice is added to the base to achieve a deep rosé colour with a hint of blackberry flavour.
