South Hill Cider Prelude

One of the most structured of the prelude releases. Hints of passionflower and strawberry on the nose, with slate and moist earth on the finish. This blend of 50% Harry Master’s Jersey (a classic English bittersweet) and 50% ‘Geneva Tremlett’s Bitter’ (a bittersharp grafted from a tree in the USDA apple repository in Geneva, NY that was originally misidentified as the English bittersweet Tremlett’s Bitter. Nonetheless it is an excellent bittersharp and one of our prized cider varieties. We have been fermenting this blend since 2017.
