The location of the cidery in West Seneca is ideal for crafting high-quality ciders. The area is known for its fertile soil and favorable climate, which provide optimal conditions for growing the apples used in cider production. The unique combination of warm summers and cool winters in this region helps to develop the perfect balance of flavors in the apples.
At McKenzies, we take great pride in using only the finest ingredients to create our ciders. We source locally grown apples, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and full of flavor. These apples are carefully selected and handpicked to ensure that only the best fruit goes into our ciders.
Once the apples are harvested, they are taken to our cidery in West Seneca, where the cider-making process begins. The apples are first washed and sorted to remove any impurities. They are then pressed to extract the juice, which is the foundation of our ciders.
The juice is then fermented using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. We carefully control the fermentation process to achieve the desired flavor profile for each of our ciders. The fermentation process takes time, allowing the flavors to develop and mature.
After fermentation, the ciders are aged to further enhance their flavors. This aging process allows the ciders to develop complexity and depth, resulting in a truly exceptional drinking experience.
Once the ciders have reached their optimal flavor, they are bottled and packaged at our cidery. We take great care in ensuring that each bottle is filled with the highest quality cider. Our packaging is designed to not only protect the cider but also to showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each bottle.
The location of our cidery in West Seneca allows us to stay connected to the local community and support local farmers.
