Brutes Cider - All The Feels (750 mL)
Brutes Cider's All the Feels is a sparkling apple cider made by cofermenting apples, with pears, Japanese flowering quince, and biodynamic riesling skins from Wine Mechanics in Göteborg, Sweden, the first urban winery in the Nordic. This coferment is a jewelbox of delicate floral aromas and soft tannins from the addition of grape skins. A fruit blend pét-nat that truly blurs the line between wine and cider.
The fruit is from the 2021 harvest season. Wild fermented with native/indigenous yeast after a 3-5 day whole-pulp maceration of apples, pears and quince. One round of racking, and then the addition of riesling skins to the fermenting juice.
About Brutes Cider: Bonded over a mutual love of natural wine, this small group of friends has set out to create their own expression of terroir in the predominantly grape-less—but fruit-rich—land of Sweden. With seemingly more apple trees than people and a cultural history of foraging wild fruit, Sweden is ripe for the picking. As they are fond of saying: “apples are our grapes.” Just outside of Stockholm, on the islands of Lake Mälaren, apples and pears are handpicked from old orchards that have been largely forgotten, but luckily not abandoned. The soil in their area is old seabed, so there's a salinity that comes through in the apples and the cider in the end. One of their primary orchards was an abandoned biodynamic fruit farm, while the others are ancient orchards that have never fallen victim to modern farming practices (no spray, chemicals). Everything they make is wild fermented, nothing in, nothing out. It's alive, maturing over time, phasing in and out of various stages, eventually settling into a delicious balance.
