Las buenas noticias llegan esta vez del otro lado del charco, donde la firma asturiana vuelve a triunfar en una de las citas imprescindibles del sector: la GlintCap de Michigan
Allí ha sido distinguida con una Medalla de Oro su sidra de hielo 1898 mientras que Pomarina brut, Spring Cider manzana y Spring Cider manzana+uva se han alzado con Medallas de Plata
Asturias, 10 de agosto de 2021. La Grate Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition, conocida como la GlintCap se celebra cada año en Michigan, EE.UU., y es una cita imprescindible del sector a nivel internacional.
Durante el certamen, el experto jurado cata sidras llegadas de distintos puntos del planeta para luego emitir su veredicto. Y esta decisión trae muy buenas noticias para el Grupo El Gaitero cuyas sidras han vuelto a triunfar, como demuestran las cuatro nuevas y flamantes medallas otorgadas en esta última edición de la GlintCap.
Así su sidra de hielo 1898 ha recibido una Medalla de Oro y Pomarina brut, Spring Cider manzana y Spring Cider manzana+uva han sido distinguidas con Medallas de Plata.
1898 y Pomarina brut son dos de la sidras más especiales de la firma asturiana, al igual que Spring Cider, de la que cabe destacar, además, que es la tercera vez que resulta premiada a nivel internacional en apenas dos meses, sin olvidar que llegó al mercado en mayo de este año.
Spring Cider es una sidra fresca, ligera que gracias a su baja graduación alcohólica resulta ideal para un aperitivo o “tardeo”. Se presenta en tres versiones: manzana, manzana+uva y SIN.
Pomarina Brut es una sidra espumosa “natural”, es decir, que su carbónico se obtiene gracias a una segunda fermentación. Es la sofisticación hecha sidra y perfecta para disfrutar sola o para acompañar platos a bases de pescados o mariscos, tan apetecibles en esta época.
1898 es una sidra de hielo de lo más especial. Para hacerla se recogen las manzanas y se congelan para emular así a las originales, donde la manzana se congela por el propio clima en el mismo árbol. Dulce pero con un punto de acidez final que limpia la boca es la compañera ideal para disfrutar de una selección de quesos artesanos, un foie o, por qué no, postre pocos dulces elaborados con frutas.
At El Gaitero Group, since our foundation in 1890, we have traveled the world with our cider and Asturias.
In 2021 our new project, SPRING CIDER, the fresh and light cider endorsed by cider experts, sees the light of day. Thanks to its low alcohol content, it is a perfect alternative to enjoy an aperitif or during an afterwork, ideal for the "afternoon".
In 3 versions,
- Spring Cider Manzana (apple) is delicate, irresistible and very fresh, and is represented by the arrow, because it has a flavor as extraordinary as the aim of William Tell.
- Spring Cider Manzana+Uva (apple+grape) has a combination as tempting as Adam and Eve's apple, that's why it carries a snake.
-Spring Cider Manzana Sin Alcohol(apple without alcohol) supposes a sensation as inspiring as Newton's apple, which is reflected with the planets, an allegory to the Formula of Gravity of it.
SPRING CIDER already has 2 gold medals from the “WORLD CIDER AWARDS” in Frankfurt.
Although cider is the company's first product, other apple derivatives such as sweets and juices have always been part of our range. As far as food is concerned, we have a line of prepared dishes among which our FABADA GOURMET stands out (with Asturian PGI faba and compango from our region that does not contain additives or preservatives).
In addition, we have been committed to the PDO SIDRA DE ASTURIAS since its inception and we have ciders of all the varieties it contemplates and 3 brands under it, EL GAITERO, POMARINA and VALLE, BALLINA AND FERNANDEZ.
We also adapt to different trends with products such as our GAITERO SPANISH CIDER range (100% Apple, Red Grape and SIN) for young audiences or our 1898 ice cider for the most select palates.
But not everything is apple, since 2018 we have been the sole owners of a special winery located in Rioja Oriental, Real Agrado (a project we have been part of for years). Our wines are characterized by being made exclusively with grapes from 100 hectares of our own vineyard. Let us have the “Real Grado” Classic Range (rosé, white, young red, crianza and reserva) and The Raíces Collection that holds four “parcel wines” that are named after each of them: Las Planas reserve white, Rodiles Graciano , La Lobera four varietals and Canterabuey Graciano (first wine from Viñedo Singular de Rioja).
In short, a wide and varied range of products for all palates and moments.
