Tasting Notes

Clean apple, pear, honey, citrus, fresh quince, gentle sweetness, light body, floral. Cryoextraction emphasizes purity and fruit over structure — the opposite fingerprint from cryo-concentration.

Brand Guide

Method, not brand — used by producers like La Face Cachée de la Pomme (Neige line), Domaine Pinnacle, and Cidrerie Michel Jodoin. Cryoextracted bottlings are typically $3-5 less than cryo-concentrated from the same producer.
