Leif Sundström lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley, helping to revive the region’s centuries-old tradition of preserving orchard fruit as cider, a drink that evokes early America’s agrarian past and, Leif believes, points the way to the region’s farming future. This bottling, 'Liminal,' is a beautifully aromatic wine, both floral and spicy, with substantive soft texture on the palate. Flavors are at once tropical and of stone fruits like peach and pear, then focus into a crystalline, ginger-like finish. Amazing traditional method cider from a New York label to know.
