Fenceline Cider of Mancos earned three new awards at the New York International Cider Competition.

Windfall received a Silver Award in the Wood-Aged Category, and Understory Elderberry won the Bronze Award in the Fruit Cider Category. Fenceline Cider was also named Colorado Cider Producer of the Year.

Fenceline’s Windfall Cider is a French-style cider, born from a blend of French Bittersweet apples. Fenceline’s Understory Elderberry Cider, released in July, is a bittersweet union of elderberry and apples.

The competition is open to commercial cider producers from around the world and uses a Trade Only blind judging panel with retail store buyers, restaurant beverage directors and hoteliers as judges.

Fenceline Taproom & Cidery is in Mancos at 141 S. Main St., Mancos.
