"Ferd/Ferð," which translates to "travel/journey" in Old Norse, is a limited edition semi-dry sparkling cider meticulously crafted from the distinctive Asfari apple . This apple is typically recognized as an eating apple at our farm. In 2023, a carefully curated test batch of 640 liters was produced, incorporating approximately 20% Santana apples to enrich the cider with a nuanced and complex flavor profile. To enhance the alcohol by volume (ABV), the apples undergo an extended period of storage before the pressing phase. The process entails storing Asfari and Santana apples for a specified duration, followed by meticulous sorting and pressing in a beltpress. The juice is then fermented using a thoughtfully selected wine yeast. Upon reaching the desired point in fermentation, the cider undergoes cross-flow filtration before being aged in storage. Finally, it is delicately bottled, presenting a one-of-a-kind limited edition semi-dry cider with a delightful effervescence. The journey of Ferd/Ferð captures the essence of exploration and discovery in every sip.
