ANNE CIDRE Ancestrale is a méthode ancestrale cider from Anne Winery, produced in Komoro, Nagano from a blend of apple varieties including Kogyoku, Shinano Sweet, and Fuji. Bottled before primary fermentation finishes, the cider carbonates naturally in the bottle, resulting in a fresh, unfiltered expression with soft, gentle bubbles that highlight the pure character of the orchard's fruit. Bottled in 750ml and 375ml formats, it has won multiple awards at the Fuji Cidre Challenge.

Sommelier's Note

A refined, orchard-driven cider that shows what méthode ancestrale can do with quality Nagano apples — soft bubbles, honest fruit, no pretense.

New to wine?

A gentle, easy-drinking introduction to méthode ancestrale cider — soft bubbles and honest apple flavor, not overly sweet.

Food Pairings

The gentle acidity and soft bubbles make it a versatile match for roasted pork, aged cheeses, and creamy dishes; it also pairs well with tempura and salt-grilled yakitori.

When to drink it

Great as an aperitif, for casual brunch, or alongside home-style Japanese cooking.
