Christmas Eve to Boxing Day Collection ❆
SIX Little Pomona products to keep you going from Christmas Eve until Boxing Day leftovers
-
Bright Lights (750ml 6.7%) is the kind of cider you want to drink at the end of a long day, maybe after work on Christmas Eve, or after you've taken the kids out in the car to look at the Christmas lights. This cider was released from the 2022 harvest, emerging from the dark winter like a big burst of light and warmth – it’ll definitely make you smile! We took ripe Bramley apples, pressed them together with locally grown Egremont Russet, a few kilos of medlars, and some Brook House grown Dabinett. Fermented wild, the transformation from sweet juice into a spine-tingling mouthful of juicy, bright citrus, perfumed flowers and blossom honey was something quite mesmerising. Bottle conditioned for a gentle natural sparkle, it's best served cold with warm company and good food!
- I'm Only Sleeping 2022 (750ml 8.4%) is another to be enjoyed on Christmas Eve, and also from our 2022 harvest! Wild fermented over a period of nearly six months, the cider developed in a very special way, gaining weight and flesh and fruit with every passing day. It's extraordinarily textured and layered with flavours of grilled pineapple, tingly fresh ginger, yellow melon, yellow peach, ripe kiwi and a hint of star anise. Bottled just before the end of fermentation, the prickle of sparkle we get from this lightens the tone and adds to the freshness.
-
Cuvée Pomme (750ml 9.9%) our traditional method single variety Egremont Russet. This cider was made for celebration, with bright champagne style effervescence. It is a finely balanced, rich and intense expression of the fruit, showing a dazzling array of yellow apple, honey, pineapple and star anise.
-
Orange Cider (750ml 7.1%) a natural dry, still cider, that pairs perfectly with hearty meals, making it a wonderful addition to the Christmas table. The 2023 vintage of Orange Cider is a single variety Dabinett cider, and a little homage to skin-contact white wines. A wonderful array of perfume, flowers and yellow fruits on the nose, and deeply juicy, fleshy peach, fragrant spice and sweet herbs in the mouth. All this is hung around food-friendly tannins and perfectly pitched acidity.
-
Pommeau of Herefordshire (500ml 20%) our homage to the great Pommeaus of Northwestern France is the perfect accompiament to your Christmas pudding, or your cheese board, or even over ice with a splash of soda water. We combine our own apple brandy with a select blend of freshly pressed apple juices and then age it in barrel for quite some time, typically two years or more. In the end, what emerges from cask is something super elegant, rounded and rich, yet still vivid and fresh. Honey and butterscotch sweetness, a hint of burnt caramel, vanilla, star anise and the juicy freshness of the apple, all combined into something utterly delicious.
- Table Cider (750ml 7%) if you have to go back to work on Boxing Day then this can very much be an addition to your Christmas Day offering, however if you are able to enjoy the 26th then we recommend pairing with your festive ham, or your bubble and squeak! Our Table Cider reflects the sheer joyous drinkability of great cider, its natural affinity with food and its ability to capture the essence of each harvest in every glass. With its juicy fruit, gentle sparkle, supple tannins and modest alcohol, Table Cider makes for happy company in any conversation or meal.
