THE MAKING OF CIDER

1- Harvesting of apples : Cheverny_113

When appels are ripes and saturated with sugar, we pick them from 15th October to the end of December. We own 17 acres of orchard and 27 varieties of apple.

2- Brewing :

3- Fermentation :

After some days the wort is decanted then the alcoholic fermentation starts and allows sugar to convert in to alcohol. This process can last several months in vats.

4- To bottle : pomme_2005

When the aroma, the sugar content, the sharpness are interesting, the cider is bottled.
