Apfel-Birne is exactly what it says it is: apples and pears, crushed together before being pressed on a belt press. There is a huge mix of varieties within this; each of the trees in the village is different and some of the fruit remains unidentified. Those that can be named are fresh and acidic apples, Gravenstein, Holsteiner Cox and Boskoop, met with the juice and aroma of Alexander Lucas pears, a large, yellow-green variety grown mainly in Germany. A new project that we’re excited to see more from but for now, look out for a second blend, made at the same time as this one, entirely from quince.
