It's basically a blend of cider brandy and partially fermented cider. Lydia likes to describe it as a whole orchard in a bottle owing to the huge number of apples it contains!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 0cm; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'sans-serif'; color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eFood pairing suggestions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePomme-oh is a delicate golden orange aperitif, with the poised acidity of Kingston Black balanced perfectly by the sweetness and warmth of the spirit. Serve neat at room temperature or tempered with an ice cube. Alternatively, create a bright and bubbly cocktail by adding a shot to a flute of sparkling wine. Store in a cool dry place. Best drunk within 6 months of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 0cm; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'sans-serif';\"\u003eThe story behind Pomme-Oh!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brandy in our Pomme-Oh!  is made from a blended bittersweet cider made from apples handpicked from ancient Herefordshire orchards.  Following fermentation the cider was matured and then distilled using a wood-fired copper still before being blended into our oak cider brandy barrel that we have been adding spirit to since 2018. Think of this somewhat as a brandy solera! After aging the spirit on oak it was carefully blended with a single variety Kingston Black juice which was pressed in November 2024 and had been partially fermented to retain residual sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 0cm; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'sans-serif'; color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eVital statistics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21.0% Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural, unfiltered, unpasteurised, wild fermented, pure juice, pommeau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Apples hand picked from unsprayed traditional standard orchards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo added sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatch size: 220 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly will I receive my order?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is packed and shipped by us (Tom and Lydia) at the cidery and we aim to get all orders out within two days of purchase.
