SEYMOUR 2022 VINTAGE – 5.4% ABV – SWEET

SEYMOUR BLEND 2022 5.4% ABV
Micheline, Stembridge Jersey & Vilberie from the orchard at North Cadbury blended with eating apples from Bratton Seymour.
Please note: The bottle label mistakenly labels this cider as 2023. It is in fact from the 2022 harvest.

Bottle conditioned, naturally sweet, petillant turning to sparkling with time.

This is our third vintage making Seymour Blend. We loved the wine-like complexity of the 2020 blend so much we couldn’t wait to make more! This cider has a similar amount of sweetness to Farmhouse Blend, but with more pronounced tannins and aromas of warm hay. It’s full bittersweet astringency is toothsome, moreish and very much at home in Somerset.

The Story
We thought it would be fun to make a blend that was a nod to the heritage of the village, Bratton Seymour, where our cider production HQ is based. ‘Seymour’ is rumoured to be a corruption of the French ‘Saint-Maur’ and we liked the idea of using apples that originally hailed from France, were grown in Somerset and married with Somerset apples in the tank.
