Definitely Cider 2020 is Fruktstereo’s idea of what a “clean” disgorged Scandinavian cider should taste like. This cuvee is based on 80% crisp apples (Aroma apples) and 20% pears (Conference pears). The apples give the cider body and structure while the pears make the beverage funky, energetic and very alive. As pears don’t ferment out, it keeps some natural residual sugar, which gives a bit of sweetness in the cider. To underline the ciders’ freshness and energy, they disgorge the cider to make it lighter and more clean. This also helps with maintaining the carbonation longer, making it ideal for serving by the glass.

The fruit is grown and harvested in Axelstorp – a traditional mixed fruit orchard with free-standing trees in the northwest of Skåne. The orchard resides on a beautiful hill overlooking Laholm Bay and surrounded by a natural reserve. The orchard dates back to the 1940s and today it is managed by their good friend, Magnus Nilsson, without any use of pesticides or herbicides.
