Fruktstereo - Desencidre 2020 (750 mL)
A very special narwhal sparkling cider made from a blend of 80% apples (Aroma, Katja, and Cox Orange varieties), cofermented with 10% grapes, and 10% beets and wild blackberries and elderberries. The apples were grown and harvested in Axelstorp, a traditional orchard in the northwest Skåne that was planted in the 1940's and today managed without pesticides or herbicides by Magnus Nilsson. Wild blackberries and elderberries are from Malmö. Beets are from Nyplings farm in Gotland. All fruits (and vegetables) cofermented for around two months with native yeast. Unfiltered and without additives. Sparkling - serve well chilled. Juicy, tart, and very fruity with notes of tart green apple, blackberry, strawberry, and a subtle earthiness.
Fruktstereo is a Swedish crew of former restauranteurs and sommeliers who began fermenting cider, fruit-nats, and natural wines using foraged fruit around their homes in Sweden in. In 2016, they acquired an old orchard with free standing trees once attached to a medieval farm. The orchard spans over 30 acres, all situated in the nature reserve of Verkeån, which is the largest river in Österlen (a tourist destination in Sweden known for its natural environment, historic buildings, fishing hamlets, small towns and farmland). The river runs through their orchard, or fruityard as they know call it after having planted different varieties of grapes, quince, and berries to compliment the already established classic Scandinavian varieties of apples, pears, and plums.
Fruktstereo's cider, wine, and co-ferments are made without any additives and using sustainable grown produce local to their home in Sweden. Each cider is fermented using only native yeast, with no added sulphites/sulfites. Zero/zero natural fruit wines.
