Born in Galicia, the lush, misty region in northwestern Spain, Maeloc honors centuries of cider heritage while embracing a fresh, modern sensibility.

This tropical expression pairs the crispness of Galician apples with the lush sweetness of pineapple and the gentle perfume of pear, creating a cider that feels both familiar and excitingly new.
