Co-Fermentation Champions ❆
For fans of co-fermentations we chose our most exciting and interesting compound drinks
-
To Boldly Go, Who Mourns For Grapes? (750ml 7.2%) we brought three fruits together this time – sour Keleris cherries, perry pears and Discovery apples, all locally sourced. The cherries went through a four-week carbonic maceration, a process that deepens colour and enhances the fruitiness of the aromatics, before pressing them together with the apples. Later season, perry pear juice was blended with this and sent to bottle to complete fermentation for a natural carbonation. To remove the remaining sediment, the bottles were all hand disgorged. The result is bright cherry red in colour, with beautiful aromas of sweet cherry, almond blossom, ripe pears and bubble gum. It’s a full-on riot of cherry and pears in the mouth, with the Discovery apples, providing subtle red fruit perfume. It’s super creamy, with lovely pillowy bubbles and the little sweetness remaining from the perry makes this just about the perfect summer drink!

Do It Puritan Quince (750ml 7.3%) began in late October 2023 when we pressed some wonderful exotic quince into tank to ferment spontaneously. In December, as we pressed the last fruit of harvest, our favourite Egremont Russet apples, we decided to combine some of that juice with the fermenting quince to create a 50/50 blend. In the new year and before fermentation had finished we bottled in pét nat style. Finally, it is ready in all its crazy, exotic and tropical glory! Super aromatic and super zingy, it’s a wild knuckle ride of citrus, roses, pineapple, yuzu lemon, lime leaf and anise! Not for the feint hearted but sour beer lovers and general acid freaks are in for a joyful treat!

To Boldly Go, The Metamorphosis (750ml 7.9%) is a super fun co-ferment, bringing together two grape varieties, Solaris and Seyval Blanc, with two pear varieties, Longbois and Antricotin, in a roughly equal blend for a wild co-fermentation before being bottle conditioned and hand disgorged, making this an utterly unique creation! The perfect combination of the two fruits, the perry pears are revealed in the creamy texture, residual sweetness, honeysuckle aromatics and juicy nectarine flavours, while the grapes show themselves with Yuzu lemon, peachiness, citrusy lime, fine-boned acid, palate weight and something distinctly grapey. Think adult schloer.
