NELSON, Tuesday 8th November 2011: It wouldn’t be a Christmas feast without a little cranberry and this year our talented cider-makers are ensuring it doesn’t go amiss.
Just in time for the festive season we’ve created another little beaut – Old Mout Cranberry & Cider. This rather tasty tipple is an ingenious union of our crisp apple cider and cranberry wine that’s just a little bit tart.
The well-balanced, pale ruby-coloured beauty has a delicate smell of cranberries and apple blossom with a fresh summery taste.
Sales & Marketing Director of Old Mout Cider, Scottie Chapman, says the development of Cranberry & Cider is yet another example of their innovation and focus on doing things differently.
“We are pioneers in producing award-winning fruit ciders and are always looking at ways to craft new and appealing ciders for cider lovers who appreciate exceptional quality and taste. We’re pretty sure Cranberry & Cider is going to go down a treat this summer,” he says.
While Cranberry & Cider can always be enjoyed ice cold on its own, there’s also no stopping a bit of culinary flare. Why not try adding it to a fruit trifle, Christmas ham glaze or even to a batch of scones? And of course it’s a must for everyone’s Christmas table as a perfect drop to accompany the traditional turkey.
Old Mout Cider is New Zealand’s oldest independent cidery and ranks in the top 3 best selling cider brands in the country. With 28 awards under our belt this year, we’re also New Zealand’s most awarded cider.
Cranberry & Cider (5.8 % Alc) will be available at selected supermarkets and various retail outlets nationwide from the end of November with RRP $11.99 for the 1.25L PET bottle.
