Varieties: Frederick, Yarlington Mill, Sweet Coppin, White Close Pippin, Somerset Redstreak
A single orchard selection from the beautiful south facing orchard at Street Farm in the village of Nempnett Thrubwell. It's an ancestral method sparkling from 2019, hand disgorged in September. There's lots of ripe Frederick in the blend making it fresh and fruity with lovely acidity. Great for an aperitif and a perfect Christmas bottle.
About: Wilding are orchard cider makers and farmers, based in Chew Magna, North Somerset. They grow mostly Somerset cider apple varieties in traditional orchards, managing them in a careful organic way.
After some years of hobby cider making they went full time in 2018 and scaled up production to 6,500 litres with fruit from their own 4.5 acre orchard and three other orchards around Somerset.
Fruit is picked from the ground in the old way, let mature and fully ripen before pressing, and then fermented gently and slowly with wild yeasts, no sulphites and plenty of time.
