Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira.

This is really amazing. It's a cider made from apples from Asturias and it's made in a style reminiscent of ice wine or cider from Canada. Excellent

In the immortal words of emily Christy, this is a trickster. Is it a spicy dessert wine or an after dinner liqueur or a camp fire Swiss miss cider tea mix?

Weird, tart love child of ice wine and cider. Some residual sugar, lots of acid, a little funk.

Super cool Asrurian frost cider made from 20 Spanish apples. Fantastic color and complexity. Toffee, candied apple, orange peel, fresh figs, dried cherries, honey, sweet lemon, maple syrup. Goes on and on. Delicious.
