What a busy month was it. We have participated at several events, biggest probably being 33rd year of "Zlatá pivní pečeť"/World beer seal which is a beer and cider competition and festival held this year in Litoměřice. Our cider Brut Assemblage 1 2020 has won third place in the category of traditional dry ciders. Twelve competitors in the category, over 1200 samples of drinks over all, I was in the committee of judges for ciders and mineral waters. We were presenting our products at the event later on to professionals and public and it went well. Next day we were already on our way to Normandie, where with help of Honza, we have managed to arrive with the old car which was sold and new one which brought us back home later on. We have worked very hard for several days, transferring and making better order in the distillates. We have transfered all cider for distillation and also empty cuves inside of the cider cave so it is at lower temperature plus no sun on the cuves. Last but not least with help of Honza and Hugo we have bottled micro-cuvée millésime 2022 assemblage 2, cider with honey aged for two months in tonneau after young calvados, lets see how it turns out. This time compared to similar micro-cuvée from 2019 I did not removed yeast sediment when transferring, hoping that it will develop sparkliness which was for me not sufficient in it's predecessor. There will be one or two cider tasting events in Switzerland before end of the month and we are getting ready for Carnivale Brettanomyces, 15-18th of June in Amsterdam. If all goes well, we will do also event in Brno in Czech Republic soon but let see. If you know interesting events where we could present and/or sell please let us know!
