Alpenfire Cider - Rosy Pommeau (375 mL)
Rosy Pommeau is a dessert or aperitif cider made from the red, high acid juice of Airlie Redflesh apples, which were partially fermented before halting the fermentation with the addition of an eau de vie. The eau de vie is distilled from Alpenfire's estate organic cider varietals and locally grown organic heirloom apples. Once blended, it is aged in neutral oak for 15+ months before bottling. Notes of sweet apple, spiritous barrels, tart cherry, and candied fruit. Great as an aperitif or accompanying dessert or cheese.
About Pommeau: French-style apple ‘mistelle,’ a blend of fresh juice (called ‘must’) and brandy. Historically, in western France, fresh apple juice was blended with cider brandy to preserve the flavors throughout the year. This operation, known as ‘mutage,’ was done quietly on the family farm and, for centuries, the method was a closely guarded secret. The result became the local apéritif, called Pommeau - from ‘pomme,’ meaning apple. A fine Pommeau blends strength, sweetness and delicacy.
