Australian Sparkling Ciders
Aussies, like their American cousins, can thank British colonists for bringing apples to the South Pacific. Captain Phillip made sure he had plenty of apples and apple seed on board when he set sail for Australia in 1788. The Granny Smith apple originated in Eastwood, Syndey in 1867 from a chance seedling propagated by Maria Ann Smith where the name "Granny Smith" comes from. Today's Australia apple crops are harvested between January and October depending on the variety and where it is grown.
What is "crackling" apple cider, Mate? It just sounds like one of those intriguing Australian phrases that Americans love to hear but have no faint clue what their Down Under cousins are talkin' about. So, as the Aussies, say, "this is a crisp, crackling juice with refreshing apple flavours and aromas." Got that? Now you know!
