Sideria Tour in an Apple Orchard Restaurant

Not only wine grows here. The region is famous for their apple orchards too. When you have too much apples, you make wine. Cider or Apple wine. This here is on the strong side with 6 % alc.
It is a little carbonated naturally when it is fresh.
The taste is acidic and for people who are not used to it, a bit unpleasant.
Since I live in an area with a long apple wine tradition, it tastes just like the one at home.

We had an evening out program there with food and cider. At first we were shown the original way of getting the drink. We grabbed our glasses and went into the cellar where 6 2500 liter wooden barrels stood, went in line and held our glass in the thin stream of cider that shot out of the barrel. About 1 inch of cider later the next one followed. That method gives you the freshest and most sparkling wine. A couple of rounds later we went back to the table.

Now food arrived. First warm chorizo o bread. All on platters to share
Next was Bacalhau omelet, delicious.

A large piece of Bacalhau on green peppers.

Then came the piece de resistance,  a platter with slices from a beef cutlet.

Fun was the dessert, some slices of hard sheep cheese with quince concentrated jam and a whole paper bag of walnuts to crack yourself.
