Our Canned Ciders.
Reviving the cider heritage of the Mancos Valley, Fenceline is traditionally crafted with cold, slow fermentation — producing a drier libation, with complex flavors, and less sugar. Through our canned and bottled ciders, we’ve created a cider option for everyone to truly love.

Our Bottled Ciders.
We work with completely unique apple varieties that have been born wild, right here in Southwest Colorado, and would otherwise go to waste — dropping from relic orchards and wild apple trees as autumn begins. These apples are truly one-of-kind, ripe with the tannins and acidity we seek, revealing their own unique terroir when crafted in our ciders.
Windfall
Bittersweet Cider
A celebration of autumn. As the first crisp gusts of fall wind whip through the orchard the ripest fruit drop from the trees. Windfall is a blend of French Bittersweet apples that are slowly fermented and finished in oak casks. A french-style cider, the Windfall is a beautiful product of nature's alchemy.
TASTING NOTES: tart, spicy citrus, sage

Spur Bearer
Red-Fleshed Cider
Crafted from rare, red fleshed apples that are close relatives of the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan, Spur Bearer is a complex and tart cider .At their core, these apples are crimson red, and their flesh is bursting with a myriad of wild flavors. With roots that stretch back to the Eurasian steppe, red fleshed apples are hearty and well adapted for life here in the arid Southwest.
TASTING NOTES: tart, melon, pineapple
OFF-DRY

Whip & Tongue
Bittersharp Cider

All of our wines are made with local, Southwestern grapes from nearby vineyards that benefit from hot desert days, cool mountain air and rich red Colorado Plateau soil.
