Pears are milled for overnight oxidation, pressed and fermented. Fresh pear juice added for secondary fermentation in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose it is invigorating - lifted nashi pears, mango skin, white tea, and straw. Fallen orchard fruits, fresh potting mix, and leathery palate. A Norman cider with a unique Chinese edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInheriting her family’s vineyard at a time where neighbours were digging up their vines to plant higher-yielding crops, Shofang and her partner Levi have modernised their 30-year-old winery by rejecting the domestic demand for heavy Cabernet Sauvignons, instead using their Australian winemaking experience to work with old-vine Muscat Hamburg, using neutral oak, and opting for pure and aromatic cuvées. Qinhuangdao is also known for its Hanfu and Guoguang apples, An pears, and Shanhaiguan cherries - which Shofang uses for cidermaking. Just like the wines, all the ciders are fermented with indigenous yeasts with 100% local fruit - further contributing to the unique terroir of her home where the Great Wall meets the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Craft Republic Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51500528173371,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/11f1863cfb865c34a5c2029f3a5e66c1_fe321c67-dce1-432c-961c-be4aa82f7dcd.png?v=1784824337","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/shofang-pear-cider-nv-6-3-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
