Presque Isle Farm Cider - Pet Nat Kingston Black & Bulmer's Norman (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider's Kingston Black & Bulmer's Norman is a dry cider made with a 50/50 blend of the Kingston Black and Bulmer's Norman apples. Two bittersweet apple varieties with UK origins, beloved by cider makers for their tannic qualities and flavor profiles. This delightful cider is sure to please fans of English ciders - it's wild, smoky, with heavy tannins and notes of leather and farmhouse.
2024 Vintage. Fermented naturally in stainless steel using native yeast from the fruit. This version is bottled in the Pet Nat method. (A forced carbonation method of the same blend & vintage is also available here and makes for a fun comparison).
Tasting Notes: Soft aromatics of apple and orchard floor. Dry and crisp, with well balanced medium-plus levels of tannins and acidity. Much less bitter and complex than the other version of this cider - yet still very nice. Notes of fresh apple skin, citrus zest, and a drying minerality that partners with a lingering tannin to dry out the finish.
