Oliver’s West Country Girl 2024

This 2024 blend of the best bittersweet cider apples from the finest old trees in high stem traditional orchards, sweated, sorted, milled, pressed, followed by a keeve and 3 rackings and then let the native yeasts do their thing and you have a slow fermenting juice fit to bottle at SG 1.020 that will continue to ferment in bottle until the CO2 fills the headspace and the cider itself and then the wild yeasts relinquish their desire to reproduce and settle for a good fizz and an expression of the fruit that does credit to all concerned. In bottle conditioned cider, a bronze orange colour with a bright fizz, a touch of the farm yeasts on the nose gives way to a spicey, ripe, fruity flavour with a touch of bitterness in the finish.
