Fruktstereo Cider Revolution 2019

Based in central Malmö, Sweden, Frukstereo is a collaboration between Karl Sjöström & Mikael Nypelius, who both worked as sommeliers in fine dining throughout Scandinavia. Inspired by forward thinking friends, cider and natural wine producers, they decided to challenge the way wine and cider is perceived in the Nordic region.

With Fruktstereo, they want to create natural alcoholic beverages without additives, using sustainably grown Swedish produce without pesticides. Only the indigenous yeast in the fruit is used, with no manipulation that they do not see as natural.

Fruits: 70% Cox Orange, 30% Alexander Lukas pears

The Cox apples have been macerated like red wine with its skins for about two weeks. The pears have been fermented out dry and left with florvlike fino sherry for a couple of months to give the cider its salty intensity. We ferment apples together with pears to keep a little bit of residual sugar, to balance the flavor of the cuvee. The pears also makes the cuvee light, salty and really easy to drink.
