History

Kelterei Possmann describes itself as a family cider press (Familienkelterei) since 1881. It produces applewine (hard cider) from a mixed variety of cider apples grown in local orchards in the regions of Taunus, Odenwald, Spessart and Vogelsberg; the apples ferment in autumn and continue to ripen in the company's sandstone cellars. The company also produces apple juice and apple specialities, sells its drinks in beverage and supermarkets and via its own online shop, and operates an applewine tavern on the grounds of its press.
