Pet Nat Dry Sparkling Fine Cider
When Beccy & Sam took on the home orchard (Wilding Orchard) in 2018 it was very heavily skewed towards bittersweets with almost no sharps or bittersharps. In order to rebalance it to better suit natural cider making they embarked on a process of top working (grafting) in wonderful varieties such as Court de Wyck, Foxwhelp, Kingston Black and Porter's Perfection, with other varieties coming later. As well as these acid led varieties the blend is comprised with an assortment of bittersweet varieties all from the one orchard.
Drier cider than the previous vintage to keep the alcohol levels up and it has been bottled as a pet nat that gives a nice frothy mousse of bubbles when pouring. It's excellent as an aperitif with its acidity but can also be paired with hearty food owing to the light level of tannin. Light and fresh fruit predominate - kiwi, gooseberry, pineapple and green apple. Alc. 6.4%
