Cidrerie du Vulcain Poire 2021

A blend of old pear variety Louise Bonne and Isa table grape from Fribourg, Switzerland

A demi-sec style cider. Pale gold. Aromas of fresh pears and floral hints. Crisp, fruity palate with ripe pear, honey, and a clean, refreshing finish with good supporting acidity

Only the best, undamaged fruit is mashed, pressed and coarsely filtered. During the fermentation stage, the must is poured into the sparkling wine bottles and corked. The fermentation produces carbonic acid and a little more alcohol, but the cider remains at around 5% vol and a slight residual sweetness. As a rule, they are not disgorged, hence the slight lees. This process is called Ptillant Naturel.

They are available in different cuves according to the varieties available and are always “pure juice”, fermented using indigenous yeasts, coarsely filtered and, depending on the cuve, with little or no sulphur added at the end.
