WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brännland Apple Ice is produced by concentrating apple juice using the natural cold of the Nordic winter. The concentrated juice is then fermented, with the 2022 vintage utilizing spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts. The blend of apple varieties includes Mutsu, Cox Orange, Kim, Gloster, and Belle de Boskoop, each contributing specific characteristics. The wine is noted for its residual sugar balanced by acidity, suggesting good aging potential.
