Description

Sundstrm Cider is owned and operated by Leif Sundstrm, an unofficial cider pioneer who is working tirelessly to bring back the centuries-old tradition of fermenting apples into cider. After his stint in New York managing the Terry Thiese portfolio, Sundstrm headed to the Rheingau to work under Johannes Leitz. It was here that Sundstrm discovered his love for the incredible potential of fermented orchard fruit. Upon returning to New York, Sundstrm intensely studied apple growing and eventually began planting organic apple orchards across the Hudson Valley. Today, Sundstrm operates one of the most progressive cideries in the northeast and is proud to produce small yet delicious quantities of textured, nuanced ciders from organic heirloom apples. All ciders are fermented with wild yeast and are aged on the lees.
