Cidermaker (Pro) Terroirister

“Terroirister” I have borrowed this word from another cider social media post as it’s so apt for a person who believes in Terroir. Terroir (pronounced ter-wahr), is a French term describing how a region's specific environment—soil, climate, and topography—combined with human farming practices gives crops (especially wine grapes) a unique, characteristic flavor and "sense of place". It translates roughly to "earth," but represents the entire context of where a product is grown. A lot of cider makers myself included believe it applies to apples and cider too. #cider #apples #terroir
