The Vision Of A Northern Terroir

With the creation of an entirely new ice cider tradition comes the vision of creating a renewed apple tradition of high quality apples grown specifically for ice cider in northern Sweden. This is a unique proposition since there have been no orchards in commercial operation in the north for decades (perhaps up to a century) and we have the opportunity and the responsibility to shape an apple and ice cider culture, and in time an entire terroir where none has previously existed.

In the coming years, we will plant orchards in a variety of parcels all over our home county of Västerbotten, from the inland forest country to the Baltic coast. For this purpose we’ve sourced heirloom apples, from Finland, Russia and Sweden, suited to produce sustainable, quality yields in terms of volume and taste in our climate.

In 2011 we started our first trial orchards and in the fall of 2016 we started in earnest the planting of our first north Swedish orchards. In time, we will introduce an ice cider originating entirely from these orchards, an ice cider entirely the offspring of our northern home country.

It is in the vision of an entirely new apple, ice cider and wine terroir in northern Sweden that the ambition and span of Brännland Ciders ambitions becomes most visible. We want to create something truly sustainable to the good of future generations, new agriculture, tourism and of course the worlds finest ice cider. A legacy that will live on long after we’re gone.
