Fruit collected almost entirely from Hollow Ash orchards and blended at pressing in the following proportions:
Perthyr | 8 | 40% |
Tom Putt | 7 | 35% |
Cherry Norman | 4 | 20% |
Katy | 1 | 5% |
The standard trees are planted 30 feet apart to create a traditional orchard and the fruit is unsprayed to encourage nature to thrive.
Fermentation record
This cider was fermented in a small batch of 200 litres, from full juice, using wild yeasts that occur naturally in the fruit and on the press. We use the pét-nat method to give a natural sparkle, that is, the juice is bottled before fermentation is complete so some CO2 is produced in the bottle.
Unfiltered and unpasteurised.
