Limus "Mt. Gambier" Heritage Cider

Kyatt Dixon, owner and winemaker of Limus in Mount Gambier, South Australia, focuses on organically farmed Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, and heirloom apples and quinces. His winemaking approach is preservative and additive-free, emphasizing community engagement and sustainable labor practices. Dixon, with minimal experience in conventional agriculture, embraces a hands-on, quality-focused method in organic viticulture, facing challenges like variable yields and labor-intensive practices. Limus, named after Dixon's fascination with seaweed, showcases his commitment to authentic, locally influenced winemaking.

Limus Heritage Apple Cider is a delicately balanced old-world-style hard cider crafted from basket-pressed mystery cider apples at the Apple Farm. Fermented in old French oak for around 12 months, it achieves carbonation by adding a small amount of fresh fermenting juice from 2021 at bottling, resulting in a fresh and refined beverage.
