Little Pomona - Stoke Red Pet Nat Hill Farm (750 mL)
RESERVED FOR CLUB MEMBERS
Little Pomona's Stoke Red cider is a single-varietal cider made from the Stoke Red apple, keeved, and then bottled pet-nat. Apples were grown by their neighbors at Hill Farm in Herefordshire, England.
Stoke Red, for its sheer joyful vibrancy, may be our favorite bitter-sharp cider apple variety. Little Pomona felt that the rural method, an old technique allowing retention of natural sugars in the final cider, would be the best way of showcasing the beauty of the fruit. Bottling it as a pét nat helped to capture all the freshness of the vintage.
What’s come out of this is a cider that pours a slightly hazy gold, releasing lovely aromas of tarte Tatin, roses, and baking spice. In the mouth it has noticeable sweetness, but it’s the sheer juiciness and energy of the liquid that grabs your attention before flavors of warm apple pie, ripe cherries and vanilla begin to unfurl. Joined by a lovely sweet florality and fabulously soft tannins - it’s as complete as it is delicious.
Pairs well with spicy foods.
