Little Pomona Orange Cider 2019

With  Orange Cider 2020, we wanted to try and capture the joy of  Brown Snout. A classic, yet rare, cider apple, pale yellow when ripe it’s named for its russeted nose. Picked late in the autumn, the fruit smells gloriously of Bergamot oranges as they are gathered into fruit bins.

Blended at crush with  Dabinett  (10%), the juice was sent to tank to ferment spontaneously before being moved into three ex-brandy casks to mature.

What emerged over time is something even we did not expect. The aromatics are beautiful, all sweet orange and temple incense, and when you taste, it really is just pure, delicious juice – peach, plum, apricot, yellow apples, mango and yes orange! You can almost feel that juice running down your chin – joyful drinking without, but especially with, good company.

You can throw some pretty hefty food in this one’s direction! Should be a perfect small plates or street food match where all that fruit, juice and spice can meet and mingle with the heat, fat, salt and intensity. Or you can just revel in the complexity. Gluten free. Vegan friendly. Drink cool. Contains sulphites. 7.3%

Still Dry Fine Cider

A single variety, spontaneously fermented cider made with late harvested Bisquet, a bitter-sweet apple known for its phenolic qualities. Towards the end of fermentation the cider was racked into neutral French oak barrels for a year long élevage. The result is intensely fruity & juicy, bursting with peach fuzz, sweet incense and a touch of old leather on the nose, dripping with sweet, ripe fruit – apricot, yellow plums, cantaloupe melon – all underpinned by something more earthbound and rugged that speaks of the orchard in autumn. There’s a little citrus oil here too, plus nutmeg spice, and subtle tannins. Reminiscent of orange wines, this cider holds bright flavours, tannins and acid; it's a super versatile bottle will match beautifully with curry spices, tangy hot wings or seafood tacos.
