Kroupa Orchards Apple

Kroupa Orchards Apple Wine Details
Price: $8.00 per bottle

Description: This semidry wine was made from 6 apple varieties: MacIntosh, Spies, Ida Red, Empire, Golden Delicious, and Winesaps. The apples are harvested in early October and allowed to ripen off the tree for 4-6 weeks before pressing. During this period natural enzymes in the apples convert carbohydrates to sweet sugars. This ancient practice adds flavor and aromas to the juice. The wine is cool fermented and aged on the yeast for 10 weeks. The wine is sweetened to 2.5 % r.s. to resemble the balance of a fresh MacIntosh apple. Crispy and light, this wine is great for summer picnics. Serve ice cold with light cheeses and fresh fruit.
