History

Anthony Copriviza spent three years in Spain studying finance. After returning to Spain with his wife Natalie, he discovered the wild-fermented natural apple ciders produced in northern Spain (Asturias region).

Inspired by Asturias but made in California with local apples. Traditional Asturian techniques:

  • 100% Pajaro Valley apples
  • Native yeast, 100% spontaneous fermentation
  • Bulk aged 6+ months
  • No additives
  • Dry and unfiltered

Products

Two ciders produced each year:

  • Pelayo Cider
  • Pelayo Cider Reserve

Availability
