3 Pommes 2019 | 6/2021

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.

Best served between 45°-55°f

Estate Perry 12/2020

Burnt Branch Reserve #6

Released December 2020

2019 HARVEST

This perry was fermented using native yeasts from our 2019 harvest, then it was bottled November 5th 2020. So you can drink it now and enjoy the light carbonation and remaining conditioning sweetness or store it for a few more months and drink it completely dry and sparkling. Either way it is delicious and we hope it is just the first of many vintages to come. These pears were our early crop picked from 9/30 - 10/3 from the espalier trees along the fence line. They are a blend of European & Scandinavian perry pears planted close to 10 years ago. 2019 was the first year they produced enough to make a “pure” perry.

Pears: Organic Blakeney Red, Butts, Hendre Huffcap, Yellow Huffcap and others from our estate orchard.

Bottle Conditioned, please pour carefully off the lees.

Best served between 50°-55°f
