Fanjul Natural Eco Cider

Varieties

Varieties of traditional cider apples,Raxo,De la Riega,Verdialona,Regona and D.Tresali. Cultivated following the norms of eco-friendly farmed produce.

Elaboration

The Harvest begins in the second fortnight of October when the maturity of the fruit and the weather conditions are at an optimum.The apples are washed and slowly pressed in the pneumatic press at low pressure. The juice is then decanted,sifting out sediment leaving a clean,cold apple juice which is then left in the “LlAgar”,cider factory, to ferment. It is left the necessary length of time for the cider to mature and be bottled at the best moment.

Control

The whole production process and transformation of the apple is controlled by COPAE (AGRICULTURAL BOARD OF GOVERNERS),to which we belong with the registerd number:6/1

Characteristics

This natural cider is dry,moderately sharp with a slightly buttery texture and a final, mild astringent taste with a characteristically fresh and fruity aroma. It is slightly opaque as to be expected in an unfiltered product ,pale yellow with fine green reflections,young. The level of alcohol is around 6ºA and it retains a small amount of natural gas from the fermentation process which apports to it a sense of sparkle, particularly pleasant when poured from a height (Escanciar)

Recommendations

Natural cider doesn´t have a sell by date,although like any white wine or young,fermented drink,it`s best to be drunk during the year following it´s harvest. After bottling there is a progressive improvement in the flavour of the cider for a few days and then a period of stability,longer or shorter depending on it´s conservation. It`s best to store it in fresh,dry.

Conditions,avoiding sudden changes in temperature. It should be served at a temperature of around 12/14ºc, pouring into large glasses. It is particularly enjoyable with aperetifs and starters,patés,light meats or seafare.
