Cold pressing of the apple, with several varieties of apples, and fermentation in stainless steel vats at low temperatures to maintain the aromas of the fruit. We let all the sugars in the fruit ferment to obtain a dry cider.

Apple production
The municipality of Carrazeda de Ansiães is one of the largest apple producers in the region of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, producing apples at a certain altitude that are distinguished by their hardness, sweetness and characteristic aroma.
Selected Apple Harvest
ALFA cider is produced only with first-choice apples, which gives it new flavors.

Controlled fermentation process
The production of ALFA cider goes through alcoholic fermentation, a process that takes place, transforming fructose into alcohol. No added water, sugars, colorings and flavorings. ALFA cider is 100% apple. Gluten and lactose free.
Bottling
After a period of maturation in vats of between 4 to 6 months, ALFA cider is bottled in 0.33 L, 0.75 L or 20L/30L barrels.
The sparkling wine has a 2nd fermentation carried out in the bottle.
