2021 we did a little first experiment
with apples, pears, grapes and
quinces. The experiment was
bottled and called “Danke Danke
Cider”. The 2022 cider is again
documenting something we are
thankful for, as not all fruits for
this cider were our own. They come
from friends and coincidental
acquaintances. We harvested
the apples and pears from an old
orchard in the Hunsrück, from
our own trees on a field behind
the winery and from a befriended
farmer’s trees in our village. They
were mashed, pressed and directly
infused with already fermenting
must, so that there is no potential
for oxidation. We then added
fresh quince juice shortly before
bottling as a dosage. The quinces
also came from dear ones. This
Cider tastes truly sophisticated.
It has such a beautiful structure to
it. The quinces shine through, the
different fruits fuse in a harmonic,
voluminous roundness.
