Shawnee Hill Farm - Pommeau (375 mL)
Shawnee Hill Farm's Pommeau is a dessert style apple wine made from estate grown apples, blended with apple brandy distilled on the farm. Apple juice was fermented to cider and distilled, then blended with fresh apple juice - all from fruit grown on Shawnee Hill's estate on Vashon Island.
A smooth and apple-forward sipper. One of the smoothest, most divine pommeaus we've tried to date! Pair with dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, or a cheese plate.
About Pommeau: French-style apple ‘mistelle,’ a blend of fresh juice (called ‘must’) and brandy. Historically, in western France, fresh apple juice was blended with cider brandy (calvados) to preserve the flavors throughout the year. This operation, known as ‘mutage,’ was done quietly on the family farm and, for centuries, the method was a closely guarded secret. The result became the local apéritif, called Pommeau - from ‘pomme,’ meaning apple. A fine Pommeau blends strength, sweetness and delicacy.

About Shawnee Hill Farm: Located on Vashon Island in Washington State, just a short ferry boat ride from Seattle. The small village and remote island of Vashon is home to dozens of organic farms and a robust cider community - there are three commercial cideries and dozens of excellent home cider makers on the island. Stephen and Jenna Buffington bought the property their farm now resides on more than 20 years ago, and have spent two decades building and growing their farm, orchard, and vineyard. They've planted 100s of fruit and nut trees as well as two vineyards on the property, where they now make cider, wine, and spirits. After years of working with another cidery on the island, Stephen launched Shawnee Hill Farm's commercial cidery & winery in 2022. We first bumped into Stephen pouring his pommeau at the Farmer's Market on the island - it was one of the finest American made pommeaus we'd ever tried. We're thrilled to be able to bring his delightful ciders and pommeau off the island and into your glass.
