Frigamc

Friga is an ice cider developed from a carefully chosen selection of five varieties of apples, hand-picked and ripened to perfection. After they are harvested in the fall, they are immediately placed in cold storage until it’s time for exposure to the natural cold of Quebec winters. To avoid altering the flavour, fallen apples are not added to this blend. After a period of freezing, the apples are crushed and pressed. The extracted juice is left outside until its water freezes and separates from the natural sugars. This process is called cryoconcentration. It is followed by many months of low temperature fermentation to develop optimum flavour and bouquet.

Gaiamc
Gaia is a pear ice wine made from hand-picked pears that are crushed and cold-pressed. To avoid altering the flavour of perfectly ripe fruit, fallen pears are not used. The sugars are concentrated by the natural cold of Quebec winters, using a process known as cryoconcentration. This is followed by many months of low temperature fermentation to develop optimum flavour and bouquet.
