Banda Cider of the Arve 2023

A blend of organically grown cider apples from Our Mates Farm in Geeveston. 

A true farmhouse cider; with fine tannin, intense flavour, minerality, a little spice and great acidity. The brightest and deepest electric orange in colour and wonderful with food or as an aperitif. A touch of sweetness to dance on the tongue due to being made using the ancestral method, which in turn is balanced by the tight tannin structure. A cider to drink now after already being aged for 18 months, or to hold on to for a very long time and watch the flavours develop. 

Harvested from the orchard floor by hand throughout the autumn and winter with a portion of the fruit curing for additional time.

Naturally keeved and slowly fermented through the winter, this cider was bottled without any additions in late August of 2023 and was disgorged after 12 months on lees. 

This cider is made with a blend of yarlington mill, bulmers norman, improved foxwhelp, michelin, cemetiere du blangy, & frequin rouge apples picked from the end of April until the end of June in 2023. - Banda
