AMBROSIUS 2024 VINTAGE – 5.8% ABV – Dry, Sparkling

AMBROSIUS 5.8% ABV 75cl
A first edition cider made with unknown varieties from a Long Ashton Research 1970s trial orchard planted at the Montgomery family farm in North Cadbury.

Bottle conditioned, dry cider [we never sweeten with brewing sugars, or pasteurise], naturally sparkling.

Green tobacco, complex, rhubarby savouriness with leafy tannins.Yum!

HARVEST NOTES
This orchard has never been harvested for a single orchard cider blend! Jamie Montgomery, the farm’s owner and second generation cheesemaker, largely overlooks this orchard even though it’s right opposite the entrance to the dairy. Quite understandable as his mother Elizabeth always told him it was planted up with experimental varieties of unknown quality. We found temptation and curiosity irresistible and 2024 gave it a go and the finished cider is surprisingly delicious. We can’t wait to have another go in 2027.
