The Holiday Season is in full swing and whether you are entertaining at home, or dropping by numerous holiday parties you don't want to be caught empty handed. This holiday season VDG is putting the spotlight on our sparkling apple cider - otherwise known as Sidra in our homeland, Argentina.

 

Our Sparkling Sidra is artisanally produced from Ontario apples using the traditional Normandy method with a splash of Argentine influence in its characteristics.  In Argentina, Sidra is traditionally enjoyed during the holiday season, hence the natural integration of the Normandy style well known to the winemakers at VDG.

 

On the nose our Sparkling Sidra displays fresh upfront cider apples, apple skin, and a hint of honey.  The simplicity of this nose is rich and powerful. Hints of very ripe cider apples provide a beautiful depth of flavour and finesse. Soft and delicate tannins add texture, and towards the back palate a distinct minerality coats the sides of the mouth. The soft, natural carbonation adds another dimension of excitement and the natural sweetness is perfectly balanced with notable tartness from acid apples used in the blend.  

 

It is a beautifully refreshing, elegant and refined cider, and a great choice to fill your glass with. Read below to find out some great food pairings and for a deal you won't believe!

 

Cheers & Happy Holidays!
