WELSH MOUNTAIN CIDER PIPPIN PET NAT 2020- REVIEW AND COMMENTS
Welsh Mountain Cider Pippin Pét Nat 2020

On the nose: Sea-washed pebbles, salinity and all. Hedgerow flowers, green apples, gooseberry fuzz and cut grass. A little peach skin and lemon zest. It’s hugely mineral. Delicate and precise aromatics that aren’t at all short on expressiveness.
In the mouth: Again so clean and mineral. There’s a lovely spritzy zip of acidity which combines with the fine seam of bubbles to give this beautiful brightness and lifted-ness. Green apple, more cut grass and a touch of riper stone fruit and citrus. Finishes to that lovely refreshing stoniness again.
In a nutshell: As an aperitif or with fish this would be absolute perfection. So refreshing.

This is foodie James Martin’s favourite UK cidery, for good reason. Producer Bill Bleasdale is an apple expert with hundreds of varieties on what may be the highest orchard in the UK. Wonderfully aromatic, unfiltered, unpasteurised giving it a lovely, cloudy finish.
