{"product_id":"les-vergers-petit-fils-cidre-de-glace-petit-frisson","title":"Les Vergers Petit \u0026 Fils - Cidre de Glace Petit Frisson","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e For over a century, the \u003cstrong\u003ePetit\u003c\/strong\u003e family has been harvesting apples. It was not until 1990 that the estate began producing ice cider. The Quebec climate is known for its long, cold and harsh winters. Located on the mountainside, the Petit et fils orchards benefit from the protection of \u003cstrong\u003eMont Saint-Hilaire\u003c\/strong\u003e , about 20 kilometers from \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e . In fact, orchards are less exposed to violent weather which is damaging to crops. In addition, the steepness of the plantations allows better circulation of air masses, thus protecting the orchards from early or late frosts which can be devastating for the crops. The apples used by the Petit family to obtain ice cider are harvested late in order to obtain maximum ripeness from the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo obtain this sweet nectar, two methods are used:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCryo-extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e , which consists of letting the apples freeze on the trees. They are picked in winter, when the temperature fluctuates between -8°C and -15°C. The apples are then pressed while still frozen and the nectar is collected which will be fermented at low temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCryoconcentration\u003c\/strong\u003e , which consists of harvesting the apples in the fall, then keeping them cool until the fruit is pressed in the winter. The juice is then stored in containers outside where temperatures are negative. Slowly, the water freezes and separates from the sugar, the must is harvested by gravity. Subsequently, this must will ferment in vats at low temperature for a period of six to seven months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce in the bottle, we have a bright golden juice. We can also guess the sweet aspect of the product by its smoothness. The nose reveals deep aromas of \u003cstrong\u003efresh apples\u003c\/strong\u003e . By letting it age for a few months in the bottle, slightly more complex aromas of \u003cstrong\u003eroasted pineapple\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eapricot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esalted caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e will develop. In the mouth, this nectar has a marked acidity balancing the sugar of the apple concentrated by the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valade \u0026 Transandine","offers":[{"title":"375ml","offer_id":44766942626038,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Box of 6 bottles (37,5cl)","offer_id":49143678599516,"sku":"","price":126.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/LesVergersPetit_Fils-CidredeGlacePetitFrisson.jpg?v=1697214217","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-si\/products\/les-vergers-petit-fils-ice-cider-petit-frisson","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
