Tasting a typical, delicious pear cider from the Mostviertel:
The liquid shines bright gold to amber in the glass. Its herbal aromas are reminiscent of a freshly mown meadow. Refreshing notes of lemon balm and lively grapefruit with a hint of violets and light flavours of honey dance playfully on the palate. Tart notes of tannin and fine acidity make for an elegant structure and a long finish.
Where in the world is pear juice still fermented? What do the ciders and pear wines taste like there? 5 And what is its local name? How does pear cider differ from apple cider?
Answers to these and many further ques ons of interest to connoisseurs will be supplied by some twenty domes c and interna onal producers at the Third Annual MostSalon. Ar sanal producers will be offering regional delicacies for sampling and for sale – and youngsters can taste unfermented juices in the children's lounge.
The pear cider producers of the Mostviertel, the Moststrasse regional tourist bureau LEADER, the ARGE Streuobst and the Mostviertel Tourist Office GmbH are pleased to welcome you to the Interna onal Conference on Open Meadow Fruitgrowing and The MostSalon BIRNEN Directions to the events: LEBEN Fee for MostSalon exhibitors 120 € ZEILLERN Schloss Hotel MostBirnHaus 21-22 August 2015 (incl.
