Jörg Geiger - WiesenObst Rosé Cider (Non-Alcoholic)
Jörg Geiger - WiesenObst Rosé Cider (Non-Alcoholic)
Jörg Geiger's WisenObst Rose Cider is a finely crafted, non-alcoholic cider made from a blend of cider apples, perry pears, hops, flowers, and wine grapes. This is a dealcoholized cider, made by gently removing the alcohol after fermentation for a more traditional cider profile (relative to sparkling apple juices). The apple & pear blend in the base cider is from an old Geiger family recipe dating back to 1854.
Tasting Notes: Aromatics of ripe apples, baked pears, and subtle earthiness. Light sweetness at first sip with notes of lush apple, a dash of pear, blackberry, and hints of red grape. Distinctive sweet/sour play, exciting bitter notes with tart accents of the nonalcoholic red wine. Finishes semi-dry and crisp with a lingering floral quality. Lightly herbaceous from the hops (far from overly "hoppy"). Well balanced and very refreshing. Pairs great with grilled foods, or enjoyed solo as a tart nonalcoholic refreshment
The apples and pears are grown in the Swabian Alb region of Southwest Germany. WiesenObst translates to "meadow fruit" - where towering, 50+ foot tall apple and pear trees planted multiple generations ago are scattered throughout biodiverse meadows. Apples & pears grown fromMeadowFruit trees get their unique special taste from the nutrients and minerals absorbed by the trees from the lower soil layers through their deep roots, keeping them well-nourished at all times.
In these old meadows, Jorg Geiger harvests many unique, heirloom cider apples and perry pears. Apple varieties include: Börtlinger Wine, Bohnapfel, Boskoop, Gewürzluike, Roter Berlepsch, and Goldparmäne. Perry pear varieties include: Champagner Bratbirne, Stuttgarter Gaishirtle, Wildling von Einsiedel, and Grüne Jagdbirne.
