Pilton Cider Scarlett Sharpe
Pilton Cider Scarlett Sharpe
Somerset grown blackcurrants were harvested in July, squished through a pump and fermented on-the-flesh with an inoculation of cider yeast. When the fermention was done, the fruit pulp was pressed off and the juice aged in ex-Tamoshanta barrels for six months. The following Spring, this sharp blackcurrant wine was blended with naturally sweet new season keeved cider and dry-hopped for an extra layer of flavour.
Ripe red fruits on the nose, sour currants on the palate, real cider tannins on the finish. Superb with soft blue cheese.

ABOUT THIS BREWERY
We are artisan producers at the heart of Somerset’s cider-land making whole juice sparkling cider by the old English method of keeving.
Apples are collected from traditional cider orchards in and around the parish of Pilton and slowly fermented for six months in our cool Victorian cellar before bottling.
