THE CIDER
The last to be released from the 2022 vintage, this is a unique and rare thing: an unapologetically high ABV, single variety sweet perry from a single orchard. The exceptional year of 2022 gave a lot of high sugar fruit but especially so the Moorcroft from Burlands.
The high sugar has given a sweet perry with high ABV. Very weighty and bold. Aromas of Honeydew Melon, lychee, butter bun, pear drops and sultanas. On the tongue the acid and tannin gives great tension and structure and the fruit is concentrated with a lemon marmalade character. Worthy of drinking by itself as a fascinating record of a superb year but also offering many pairing opportunities with rich fish dishes, spiced food or possibly some desserts.
THE PEOPLE
Sam and Beccy of Wilding Cider grow organic vegetables and make cider near Chew Magna in Somerset. All fruit comes from unsprayed and unfertilised traditional orchards. Naturally, only wild yeasts are used, with no filtering and no additives whatsoever.
THE PLACE
Based just south of Bristol Beccy and Sam work with several old orchards across this traditional growing cider region - some of these being part of the Long Ashton research centre.
