Still Bone Dry Fine Cider

Old Man & The Bee is the annual homage to the beautiful home orchard at Little Pomona and the wonderful fruit it provides every year. 2021 was a fine growing season, characterised by a lack of extremes. Settled conditions at blossom time, and gently warm summer and autumn months have given the ciders made from it a balanced and harmonious feel. A blend of Dabinett (76%), Harry Masters Jersey (14%) and Foxwhelp, it is a golden liquid in the glass. Naturally fermented and then aged in a selection of fine oak barrels.

Honeysuckle, peaches and a touch of honey on the nose lead to a textured, juicy mouthful of tangy apples and slightly underripe apricots, with super soft tannins, a little spice and sweet vanilla from the barrels in which it was matured. Alc. 7% vol
