Maeloc Blackberry Cider | 4.0% Galicia, Spain
Maeloc Blackberry cider is made from a base of 100% pressed apples, no added sugar, with 6% blackberry juice added – to remind you of forraging the countryside hedgerows!
Founded in 1998, Maeloc combines innovation, trend and tradition - reflected in their strap-line “do it your way”. Named after the 6th century bishop of Bretona, a local settlement of Celts in Galicia - an area with a long tradition of apple growing and is the largest cider region in Spain.
Maeloc ciders are made the traditional way from apples not concentrate – using selected varietals sourced solely from over 1000 Galicia orchards, with all fruit being fully traceable. 10-12 apples are required for every litre of cider. Fermentation is with wild yeasts and from pressing to bottling the process takes about five months.
