Little Pomona - Old Man & The Bee 2020 Cider
Little Pomona - Old Man & The Bee 2020 Cider
An annual release from Little Pomona made with fruit from their home orchard. This still cider is a blend of traditional UK apples - Dabinett (66%) and Harry Masters Jersey (33%). Aged for 11 months post fermentation in white burgundy barrels. Super fragrant, with notes of cooked pineapple and fresh sage. Flavor notes of sweet nectarine, clove, slate, plum, and pleasant tannins. Subtle notes of spice, earthiness, smoke, and vanilla from the time spent in barrel.
From Little Pomona: Old Man & the Bee is our annual homage to our beautiful home orchard and the wonderful fruit it gives us every year. 2020 was a fine season. We escaped early frosts, and with a long warm summer and a mild autumn we harvested balanced fruit, with attractive acid and ripe tannins.
All in all, like the best ciders, this is fleshy and juicy, and super versatile with food. It loves salt, cheese and protein – croquettas anyone?
