In the age of industrial denaturation of foodstuffs, our ciders emerge close to utopicaly
fermented spontaneously by indigenous cultures・12 months sur-lie in neutral oak casks・no filtration, fining, pasteurisation, force carbonation・no added sulphites, acids, tannins, enzymes, aromas・no preservatives, sterilants or colorants
We wanted to eat clean
So we moved to Bohemian Highlands. To Stronghold Sudkův Důl Farm. To grow, raise, forage, ferment. To build our pocket of the contemporary pre-industrial. With plenty of clean, nutritious, healthy foods. And beverages. For our family and friends on their frequent visits.
Each cask bears its name, each name bears 300 bottles featuring a unique character
Stronghold Sudkův Důl (home of Utopia) was, in past centuries, home to Mandalena, Dorota, Petronila and dozens of other girls and women. Each oak cask bears the name of one of them. Filled with single varietal juice or with an orchard blend, each cask gives birth to cider of a unique character after 12 months. We bottle each cask individually into a small batch of 300 bottles bearing the casks name and vintage.
Forget cider
Undisquised by usual layers of force carbonation and sweetening, UTOPIA presents an honest still & dry glou-glou experience resembling natural wines rather than conventional ciders.
„Total brainfuck. The most intense acidity you can think of, together with the most intense sweetness. Most amazing satisfaction.“
Ania Smelskaya, Head Sommelier, SILO London about UTOPIA Patience
►PLAY
Highly entertaining, slightly sparkling apple-grape co-ferments. Playful cooperations with natural winemakers.
