The apples come from an old, small, forgotten orchard in Malling, a short drive south of our cidery. All the trees are rooted on a slope, which leads the water away from the trees. This results in a higher concentration of nutrients and sugar in the apples, creating an explosion of flavor and a solid foundation for fermentation.

Belle de Boskoop was harvested on the 23rd of October 2023 and went directly into stainless steel tanks. We wanted a pure, focused expression of the place and the variety. Ingrid Marie was harvested on the 1st of October 2023 and placed into a 300L Ermitage barrel to amplify the fruitiness. Both rested on full lees until bottling on the 5th of September 2024, with a bit of fresh juice and fermenting juice from 2024 to ensure a stable second fermentation in the bottle. It rested on lees in the bottle until the 20th of December 2024, after which it was hand riddled and eventually disgorged à la volée on the 22nd of January 2025.

If Belle de Boskoop is the Chardonnay of apples, Ingrid Marie is the Pinot Noir. In this blend, we really sense the inviting red fruitiness of the Ingrid Marie, which complements the crisp, focused Belle de Boskoop perfectly. Fine, small bubbles elevate the sensation, and it all ends in a saline, fresh, and salivating finish.

Rhubarb, red apples, toasted bread, seashells, and wet rocks.
