Bramley apples from a single, over 100-year-old tree located in the small village of True, just 10 km north of our cidery. These apples have an electric energy, depth, and complexity like no other.

Harvested on the 23rd of October 2023 and pressed gently the following day.

After several hours of oxidation, the juice went directly into an Ermitage 300L barrel, where fermentation and aging occurred without topping up. It was bottled by hand on the 12th of August 2024, straight from the barrel as a still wine.

This wine has a beautiful balance between the distinct acidity of the variety, the roundness of the oak, and the salty, deep expression from oxidation and nearly a year on full lees.

Think grilled lemons, oxidized apples, wet rocks, seashells, walnuts, and warm spices.
