Ember Spiced Ice Cider

Ember is a blend of ice ciders from several vintages aged in barrel and steel tank with an added touch of apple brandy distilled for Brännland by the Tevsjö distillery and then lightly spiced using natural spices.

Enjoy as a traditional mulled cider with blanched almonds, raisins and additional spices or cold over ice. Ember is also an excellent cocktail component.

“Growing up in Sweden I’ve consumed my fair share of different kinds of mulled wine. Running the risk of being called a narcissist, but I could honestly say that I’ve never tasted something like this. On the rocks, warm or in drinks it lands comfortably in all these areas of use. I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I do. Merry Christmas!” Tasting Notes by, Joel Welander, Winemaker

Pernilla Perle 2017

This year’s Pernilla Perle differs from earlier years in that it is drier and has a higher profile of apple clarity with more outspoken tannins. 2017 was one of the hardest years for decades for apple growing in Sweden with heavy frost and hail in the spring. As a result, the 2017 harvest has given our cider a rather more austere, yet elegant and more complex style compared to previous vintages. The balance between sugar, alcohol and fruit has been joined by a length that holds great promise for future development and ageing.

Claim Iscider 2017

Claim Iscider claims new territory for ice cider. An ice wine made from 100% Swedish apples, concentrated and elevated using the natural winter cold of northern Sweden. A true and original expression of the country, its apples and the family of ciders from which it was born.

White flowers on the nose and juicy, sweet, fresh acidity on the finish. Claim evokes lightness and light, spring and summer, in contrast to the flavours and scents of late autumn and winter apples associated with the company’s traditional ice cider.

Whilst holding true to the Iscider methodology, 100% fresh picked Swedish apples, this selection is a journey of discovery. Isciders traditionally are rich and sweet, naturally produced, however Claim is a revelation. It reveals that delicacy and precision are things of beauty, which show themselves through the apple communicated by fermentation and the application of careful winemaking standards. Whilst this does not conform to the Quebec standards, it does write its own rule book, thus claiming new territory for Iscider.

Tasting Notes

Ember Spiced Ice Cider

Appearance: crystal clear, bright amber with shades of gold. Nose: Crisp and ripe winter apple. Luring cinnamon, cloves, anise, ginger, nutmeg and vanilla. Pierced trough by a basket of freshly harvested bergamot. Palate: Ripe bergamot which is elevated with the acidity, turning into traditional Christmas species as cinnamon and anise. All wrapped together with a bear hug of winter apples and a delightful sweetness.

Pernilla Perle 2017

Appearance: lightly sparkling, golden hue, crystal clarity. Nose: nectarine, pear, apple blossom, honey, vinous. Palate: pear, ripe apple, lychee, orange, almonds and white cherries. Light lingering structure, slightly grippy. Sweet attack with really juicy fruit flavours, nice acid profile on finish.

Claim Iscider 2017

Pale golden, straw-coloured in appearance with a fragrant and aromatic nose with notes of tea, honeysuckle, strawberry & white flowers. Golden kiwi and white grapes on the palate, with pomegranate and rose petals on the long, pleasing juicy finish and a sweet rosé or blush wine character.

Food Pairing

Ember Spiced Ice Cider

Cheese, desserts with apple and berries, duck and/or goose liver pâté.

Pernilla Perle 2017

Its off-dry character makes it well suited for a wide variety of gastronomic pairings. As an aperitif on its own, or together with Asian food, right through to heavy continental-style pork dishes and a range of desserts.

Claim Iscider 2017

Claim not only claims new territory for ice-cider, it also claims new food matching territory: from the classic repertoire – apple desserts, gooseberry fool with home-made shortbread, and summer fruit puddings. With cheese – lighter blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola, and soft-medium goats cheese. Alternatively – try with salt, pepper & chilli chicken pieces, paneer tikka, Thai prawns with a banana and cucumber salsa.
