About Rose Hill Ferments
Located in the scenic town of Red Hook, NY, Rose Hill Ferments is a destination for those passionate about artisanal ciders and wines. Set on the historic Rose Hill Farm, this establishment combines tradition with innovation in its winemaking and cider production. Since launching in 2018, the team, led by head winemaker Matthew Sanford, has focused on low-intervention fermentation techniques. They utilize a wide array of estate-grown and locally sourced fruits, including apples, grapes, pears, and other seasonal varietals, to create unique small-batch offerings. Sanford's experience is complemented by Sam Rogers, whose previous work spans wine regions in France, Germany, Oregon, and California. Together, they have redefined what fermented drinks can be, blurring the traditional boundaries between cider and wine.
Visitors can expect an ever-changing menu of offerings, featuring signature drinks like the 'Kitchen Sink' cider and 'Pearly Dewdrops,' a captivating fusion of plums, apples, and other fruits. The establishment's focus on sustainability and zero-waste practices reflects its deep-seated commitment to the land. Featured items such as their bubbly pét-nats, 'Bird Bath' and 'Lulie,' are known for showcasing the natural vigor of minimally processed ingredients. Tasting experiences take place in Rose Hill's recently established taproom, attracting both locals and travelers interested in exploring innovative fermentations. Beyond the drinks, the farm frequently hosts food pop-ups, pairing fermented delicacies with complementary cuisine.
