Ice cider. ABV will vary significantly from one vintage to another. Malus Danica is a cryo-concentrated cider, containing apple varieties Ingrid Marie Cox Orange, Filippa, Fiery Pigeon, Elstar and Jonagold. Each apple variety was picked at optimum ripeness and immediately pressed into must. This must was then frozen in a cold storage. The freezing and subsequent thawing at 0 degrees outside, concentrated the musts to a viscous apple syrup which slowly cold fermented in the winery for 12 months. The result is an intense apple experience with high acidity and syrupy apple sweetness that fills the mouth with flavor and surprise. Malus Danica should be enjoyed chilled, 5-8 degrees, for good cheese, dessert or just as an experience in itself.

Corked bottle, courtesy of Jesper, vintage 2010
Deep blond color, sun gold. Some sweetness and acidity in the aroma, some iced apple, but lighter than I’m used to, and some white wine. Quite sweet and with a reasonable degree of acidity, both traits not as extreme as in the Canadian ones; some good flavor of acidic sweet apple juice.
Good, in general lacking a bit of depth though.
