Still Dry Fine Cider

Who would have thought, with the simple act of bringing together a second-use ex-white Burgundy barrel with nascent cider made from beautiful Egremont Russet apples and leaving them alone together for six months, Little Pomona could create something so utterly perfect. 

With Once In A Lifetime this manifests through enchanting scents of sweet flowers, white peach and the taste waves of luscious fruit. Taut acid gives the cider energy and poise but it's no acid bomb. It's all fleshy peach, honeydew melon and kiwi, infused with subtle signs of star anise, that is so characteristic of this apple variety; the barrel lends a little perfume and hints of sweetness but nothing more and it has remarkable balance, length and complexity. Alc 8.4%.
