The Story of 2021 Home Farm Pét-nat

This is the first bottling of what we hope will become a regular in our line up, a pet nat made from a field blend harvested from our certified organic Albee Hill orchard. The blend consists of varieties that we planted in quantity, 20 years ago, with a vision of providing a balanced cider blend. Those varieties are: Ellis Bitter (tannins and bittersweet aroma), Bramley’s Seedling (pure acid), Golden Russet (aroma), Northern Spy (minerality), Liberty (aroma) and Goldrush (acid). The cider was blended mostly at the press and a little bit before bottling and bottled at 1.010 residual sugar to capture a natural spritz in the bottle. The painting on the label was made by our daughter, Leila.
