Taste Profile:A dry and fruity cider with a distinct aromatic profile

Cidermaking Process:All varieties are carefully selected by hand, sometimes only a few bags. After picking, the apples undergo a long maturation (2-4 weeks) in wood crates before pressing. Slow fermentation with native yeasts to fully express the aromatic potential of the fruits. The yeasts are filtered at roughly 40g/L residual sugar level with primary fermentation stopped before bottling, The bottles are left to age for 2 months with the small amount of yeasts left starting a secondary fermentation in bottle for its petillance. At this stage, residual sugar level usually comes to 25g/L. with no additives or sulfites.
