Jörg Geiger - Aecht Bitter (Non-Alcoholic Pear Juice)
Jörg Geiger - Aecht Bitter (Non-Alcoholic Pear Juice)
Jörg Geiger's Aecht Bitter is a finely crafted, non-alcoholic cider (perry) made from perry pears grown in the fruit meadows of Southwest Germany.
Made from the juice of Green Hunter pears, steeped and flavored with gooseberry, quince, wormwood, extracts of bitter herbs and flowers. The result is a subtly complex sparkling pear cider with herbal aromatic notes, with hints of wormwood and scents of white and yellow flowers. At first sip there is a short pear fruit sweetness, followed by refreshing acidity and fine bitter notes in the middle that build up to a long finish.

Much of the fruit and the botanical additions in this cider 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.
