Why it matters
The producer
An Italian wine bottling line is installed at Medovyy Spas, one of Ukraine's first industrial scale technological meaderies. The meadery produces alcoholic drinks under the Cikera brand. Honey ferments with direct pressed fruit and berry juices, without added sugar or alcohol. Natural cold pressed juices are used without flavorings or colorings.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Medovyy Spas was established in Brovary, in Ukraine's Kyiv region. Cikera joins that production location to honey and direct pressed fruit and berry juices, the ingredients named for the drink.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range is organized under the Cikera brand, with Cikera Rönnbär 2019 as a named vintage bottle. Cikera is categorized as flavoured wine and fruit wine, while the drink is honey based and naturally fermented without added alcohol. Fruit and berry juices provide the named variations, with no separate ageing or vessel distinctions stated for the range.
Fermentation converts the sugars in honey and juice into alcohol, while the absence of added flavorings and colorings leaves those ingredients as the defined flavor sources. Cikera Rönnbär 2019 has no supplied aroma, acidity, sweetness, body, texture or finish description.
