With a deep understanding of fermentation, Franz started
to make cider experiments from the late ’80s onwards, but they didn’t release their first cider to the public until 2003. In 2013, Franz went through and grafted all their planted rootstocks exclusively with fungus-resistant dessert apple cultivars that allowed him to reduce the amount of organic-approved foliar spray treatments. These cultivars all share a gene from a Japanese crabapple
variety: Malus floribunda.
