Plumenian Rhapsody 2020
Plumenian Rhapsody is where co-fermentation started for us at FRUKTSTEREO. With this cuvee we mix apples, plums and red grapes to push the boundaries within cider and fruit wines and create something new. This sparkling fruit wine is a season-long fermentation project. It starts with early plums and apple varieties in August, that we continuously top up and re-ferment several times with new fruits during the harvest season, until bottling in November. We only use the best available produce in peak maturity so every vintage changes a lot depending on taste and coincidences.
About Fruktstereo
Based in central Malmö, Sweden, Frukstereo is a collaboration between Karl Sjöström & Mikael Nypelius, who both worked as sommeliers in fine dining throughout Scandinavia. Inspired by forward thinking friends, cider and natural wine producers, they decided to challenge the way wine and cider is perceived in the Nordic region.
With Fruktstereo, they want to create natural alcoholic beverages without additives, using sustainably grown Swedish produce without pesticides. Only the indigenous yeast in the fruit is used, with no manipulation that they do not see as natural.
