This sparkling cider is the fruit of a distinctive collaboration between Klostergården and Sandalen gård. It brings together a carefully balanced blend of 50% apples from Sandalen gård, featuring the exquisite Rubinola and Rubinstep varieties, along with apples sourced from the ancient trees gracing the vicinity of the historic Utstein Monastery. Notably, before its transformation into a monastery, Utstein served as the residence for the Viking king Harald Fairhair.

As a crafted limited edition, this cider eloquently showcases the unique character of each harvest. The inherent variability in the apple combination from the ancient trees near Utstein imparts a subtle and intriguing variation to this cider, making it an ever-evolving sensory experience from year to year. By capturing the essence of the orchards, this collaborative creation offers a truly exceptional and dynamic cider experience, inviting you to savor the rich history and flavors woven into every sip.

Bottle, 75cl, from trade with Bryne. A well sparkling clear straw colored ider with a white film of bubbles. The aroma is super fresh, with hints of pear. Fresh apple juice, grass, some birch sap and a touch of apple cores. It's full to medium bodied, well carbonated and quite dry, lightly tart. Fresh apple juice, some lemon notes, pear and hints of apple cores in the flavor. Some earthy hints. Long finish with notes of apple jam. Started very promising, it feels quite refreshing at first, and it still is after a while, but it's sort of like something disappears. Still, a nice cider indeed. 240705

0,75 flaske (6,7%) fra gårdsutsalget, hjemme: klar, blek strågul med fint bruseskum som faktisk varer mer enn et øyeblikk. Overraskende (til Sandalen å være) beskjeden aroma og noe spesiell eplesmak - en blanding av saftige og litt bitre epler (?). Hint av noe lett krydderaktig (kardemomme?) i avslutningen. Fin perlende munnfølelse men heller beskjeden fylde, og dessverre taper friskheten seg lenge før tiden.
