PAIRINGS & SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Drink Pommeau at 50° F to fully enjoy its roundness, lightness and authenticity. Pommeau is perfect as an aperitif and pairs well with paté, bleu cheese, apple desserts and melon.
CIDERMAKER NOTES
Our Pommeau is crafted with brandy distilled from Finnriver cider and lightly fermented apple juice made with 100% organic apples. We begin by aging the Fall's first press of apple juice for two months in American oak, then it continues to mature in the barrel for approximately two years. Our Pommeau brings out a diamond in the rough, revealing the sumptuous elegance within an apple, while a whispy haze harkens to the rustic farm roots of this method.
APPLE VARIETIES
A blend of select organically grown traditional bittersharp and bittersweet cider apples. Bittersweet cider apples —Finnriver-grown Yarlington Mill; Brown Snout and Dabinette from Siskin Orchard on Orcas Island; and bittersharp Kingston Black organically grown in the Finnriver Orchard.
