STRAWBERRY MELLO - STILL OR BUBBLY
|
The Mello Family of fruit wines is a perennial favorite at SpringGate both sparkling and still. An Eastern US twist on Prosecco - a drink that allows the sunshine to dance in the orchard and field; this wine is created from a blend of two popular fruits: Summer Strawberries and Fall apples - sweet and medium bodied. The apple wine comes from local family owned farms. This sweet wine is intentionally a low ABV wine of around 7%.
This wine is normally available year round, and especially May-August, where it is featured at our Strawberry Festival in June.

DETAILS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Alcohol by Volume: 7% Residual Sugar: 9% Fruits: Strawberry Juice, Apple Sparkling: Capped Still: Corked or Twist Cap Estate Grown: No Local Farm: Yes VINIFICATION AND BLENDING SpringGate Mellos are naturally fermented using either grape wine juice of carefully selected varieties, or raw, unpasteurized juice of fresh-pressed Pennsylvania Apples including our favorite old cultivars. Our unique fermentation, select wine yeasts and aging, stay true to the fruit, authentic flavors and tradition only present in fresh-pressed Eastern wine. To this "vineyard experience" or "orchard experience" we then blend and add that carbonation that many enjoy, or not for those who love a still wine. COCKTAILING As with many of the Mello wines, this wine is many times used as the basis of a cocktail with the addition of vodka, triplesec, or gin with the addition of fresh strawberries, or strawberries and lemon. In addition fresh strawberries soaked/infused with Strawberry Mello (aka "drunken strawberries") is also popular as an addition to everything from ice tea, to more traditional cocktails. |
