My beer guy gave me a tech sheet for the 2014 organic. He said the same standards for the 2012...
The apples and the techniques used to make the cider are in conformity with European standards relating to organic agriculture, "Bio UE". The apples are entirely untreated. In addition, the Organic Cider is unpasteurised - as other Domaine Dupont ciders.
Terroir: sandy soil.
Varieties:
70% of bittersweet apples
30% of acid apples
Harvesting:
from October to November
Alcohol content:
5.5 % vol.
Techniques used:
Controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Indigenous yeasts. The fermentation is controlled by successive racking. The cider is unpasteurised. Bottled between May and April.
Density (O.G.): 1054 after pressing, equivalent to 112 g of sugar per litre. 1016 when bottled, which gives 5.5% alcohol after bottle fermentation has finished.
