Floribunda - Sparkling Quince & Apple Cider (750 mL)
Floribunda - Sparkling Quince & Apple Cider (750 mL)
Floribunda's Quitten is a fan-favorite quince & apple cider from Italy. Sparkling Italian quince cider made from organic Gold Rush and Topaz apples, and quince varieties (Konstantinopler & Leskovac) grown on the Völser-Egger Family Farm. This bottle is for 2023's vintage, freshly available in the U.S. as of February 2025.
As soon as the aromatic fragrance of the ripe quinces fills out the cider cellar, they are crushed and added to the apple/cider must in fermentation, in which they macerate until the end of fermentation.
In the cider both quince and apple flavors are perceptible next to one another. The quince's unique sweet fragrance complements the bouquet of the apples. In the mouth, the tannins of the quince together with the apple notes give the cider a tangy taste that is amplified by a natural sparkle. Semi-dry to semi-sweet with honey like notes that aid to a slightly sweeter perception. Fresh apple and floral quince in delicate balance.
Secondary fermentation in bottle. No added sulfites.
