Made by James & Susanna Forbes, Little Pomona mostly use traditional Herefordshire cider apple varieties in fascinating ways; they take all kinds of influences & love to experiment. Coming from a wine background, they often favour a good acid structure to their ciders, & use a minimal intervention approach, but without going into the realms of dogma. Often ageing for years at a time, & with a fascinating barrel program.
This is intriguing, complex cider making; their bottles are often dry & mature, or lively & young. It shows at an expert level just how far small batch cider making can be taken, away from mass market cider. Selection of 6 includes (those marked with an * are in the set of 3):
Disco Nouveau 2022 *
Once In The Lifetime 2021 *
Old Man & The Bee 2020 *
Hard Rain Hot Pink
Brut Zero NV

All the bottles are subject to availability & vintage change, being made in small batches by bespoke cider makers. Where the advertised bottle or vintage is not available we will substitute it for a similar item.
