'Nantosuelta' in Celtic means “Valley of the Sun” and is a goddess of Celtic springs. This vintage is made with fruit from the 2021 harvest, and is a blend of sweet and bittersweet Breton apple varieties. Organic cider, Natural Fermentation, and with no added sulfites. 

Sparkling with lush bittersweet apple notes, tannins and acidity in great balance, and hints of lime & lemon Zest. Just a lick of rustic farmhouse funk. Moderately complex - this cider drinks semi-dry, with fruity apple-forward notes that give a slightly sweeter perception on the front of the palate, then finishes with a dry bite from the tannins and sparkle. The  classic French bittersweet apple notes and medium-plus tannins in this cidre de bretagne will not disappoint! 

 

NERD NOTES

Soils – rich, deep loam soil
This tart apple orchard is located at the bottom of the deep and loamy valley floor, surrounded by forest on one side a stream on the other.

Arboriculture – The tall trees are protected from the wind by grassy strips, which promotes diversity. There were no added pesticides or insecticides in order to protect the environment. We are committed to keeping in compliance with organic production.

Cidrification – The apples were manually harvested from October to November. The fruits were stored in bags under shelter for better ripeness. The fermentation is managed in tanks and then blended with natural yeasts in oak barrels.
The cider is bottled in late April, with natural bubble formation and no added sulfur, non-carbonated and non-pasteurized. A second fermentation occurs in the bottle. Wild yeasts are necessary to make the natural foam, it can make some turbidity.
