The result is a harmonious, smooth blend with deep flavors of ripe apples, caramel, and subtle spices, all enriched by time spent aging in oak wine barrels. Harrison Apple Pommeau can be enjoyed as an aperitif, paired with desserts, or sipped on its own to appreciate its complexity and elegance. Its unique combination of sweetness and depth makes it a delightful choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.
About Pommeau: Pommeau is a fortified cider enjoyed as a dessert or an apéritif. Pommeau is made by blending unfermented apple juice with apple brandy. The mixture is then aged in oak barrels, typically for at least 2 years (and often longer). The high percentage of alcohol from the apple brandy prevents the fresh juice from fermenting, and thus the beverage retains a considerable level of sweetness. The prolonged aging results in a rich melding of complex flavors from the cider juice blend, warmth from the brandy, and complexities from the barrel. Pommeau typically has an alcohol by volume in the 16-18% range, and is best enjoyed an ounce or two at a time at cellar temperatures. Stored at cellar temperatures or refrigerated, even an open bottle of Pommeau will age well and can be enjoyed slowly over time. Originally made in the Normandy and Brittany regions of France, where appellation controls are in place for pommeau products. Many American cider makers will label their pommeau style products as an Apple Mistelle, Fortified Apple Wine, or Apple Dessert Wine. For more on Pommeau, check out our blog post, What is Pommeau?
