Decideret - Lees Is More Sparkling 2018+2019

“Field blend” made from apples from Vigmosegaard at Lilleø. The cider varieties were, after 12 months of fermentation, blended with Bramley apples from 2019. After bottling, the wine spent 18 months on the lees before disgorgement.

Tannins, toast and yeast. But also fruit, body and aromatic sweetness. Think a cross between a fancy Normandy Cider and Champagne. Super good.

Region: Lilleo / Denmark

Varieties: Bramley / French Cider Apple Mix (Douce Coet, Kermerrien, Binet Rouge and more) / Mixed Garden

Style: Fruit Sparkling
