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.
