Fruktstereo - Cider Maybe? 2020 (750 mL)
Is this even cider anymore? Fruktstereo named this cider "Maybe?", because they're not even sure at this point. It's a Pet Nat co-ferment made with 65% pears (Concorde, Conference, Esperense, and Herre), 25% apples (Aroma), and 10% grapes (Solaris). Allowed to ferment with the grape skins for about 3-weeks, much like an orange wine. The result is a creamy, easy drinking sparkling fruit wine, where the co-fermented fruits bring out the best in each other. The grape skins add structure and body, and the apples and pears lend fresh fruitiness. Notes of tropical fruits such as melons, mango, and papaya.
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.
