Stem Ciders is excited to announce the rosiest addition to their lineup: Rosé Cider! Perfect to pair with just about anything, Stem will be releasing this addition on May 11. They’ll be hosting release events at both their RiNo Taproom, as well as at Acreage in Lafayette. The Rosé is a blend of off-dry cider made from fresh-pressed apples and red wine that’s made in Colorado.

In developing the Rosé Cider, head Cider Maker Ian Capps was at for over a year in finding the perfect blend of apple and grape, while keeping a focus on local. The final blend of Bookcliff Vineyard’s Malbec, made with all Colorado grown fruit, blended with Stem’s Off-Dry cider turned out to be the winner.

“Bookcliff produces quality products that are made with integrity. Not only did their Malbec prove to be the perfect complement to our off-dry cider, our core values as a company are in alignment. The end result is a Rosé we are all really proud of. We look forward to crushing it on the patio this summer.”

Their Rosé will be a great companion to just about everything: summer, spring and all the weather in between. Not to mention, it’ll be fun to enjoy on picnics or those days you just sit on your porch swing and enjoy the weather. As for food pairings, it’ll be well-enjoyed with charcuterie, cheese and even BBQ! Now that they’ve added it to their lineup, Rosé cider will be available year-round.
