Natural Cider La Cortina
After a careful selection of the best varieties of cider apples from the Principality of Asturias, we obtain apple juice which is then pumped to our storage tanks where it is fermented under individually controlled temperatures. Finally, following tradition, it undergoes racking when the moon is waning at the beginning of the year, and then it is matured in oak vats. The result is a fresh, straw-coloured cider with a fruity aroma which is easy on the palate. It is a natural quality cider with its own distinct style.
