Burnt Branch Reserve #7
Released June 2021
2019 HARVEST
This vintage of 3 Pommes is a little different from the previous blend we did from the 2016 harvest. Only 30 gallons total production with a blend of our small non-cider specific block of trees like Dolgo Crabapples, Almata, Winter Fuji, & Gravensteins. The pears are Hendre Huffcap, Red Barnett, Romanian, Yellow Huffcap, with a small amount of local quince we think is the Pineapple variety. Also experimented with a process called bâtonnage. It’s a French term for stirring up the lees as the cider matures this can help extract more flavor, aroma and texture before being racked for clarity.
Bottle Conditioned, please pour carefully off the lees.
