WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bränland Iscider 2023 is produced using a method that leverages the natural subarctic cold of Sweden to concentrate apple must. The must is then fermented spontaneously using wild yeast, a process that was strong and fast for the 2023 vintage. Following fermentation, the ice cider undergoes six months of aging in tank. The producer's approach involves sourcing apples from both Norrland and Skåne regions and is increasingly focused on spontaneous fermentation across their range. They are also investing in developing apple orchards in northern Sweden to cultivate a distinct regional terroir.
