Why The Cat’s Pyjamas? quirky – yes, unique – very.
Only made in years when the fruit is at its absolute best, The Cat’s Pyjamas reflects the very best of what we do. Estate grown, 100% cider variety apples. We have created complexity through fermentation on solids, followed by malolactic fermentation, lees stirring and 24 months maturation. This is a Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling cider, hand riddled and hand disgorged, it is a labour of love.
Named after the 1920s saying, meaning the best that you can do, The Cat’s Pyjamas is only produced in good vintages.
Small Acres Cyder uses 100 per cent estate grown apples that have fruit and acid balance. The cider house also uses Methode Traditionnelle to produce this premium cider, including malolactic fermentation, lees stirring and oak barrel maturation.
The 2011 intage release of this cider, won Champion Australian Cider at the 2013 Australian Cider Awards and sold out in a matter of weeks. Owner and cider maker, James Kendell is expecting the same results for the 2013 release.

750ml bottle from Leura Cellars, Leura. Pours a clear orange golden colour with a short-lived fizzy white foam head. Nose of juicy apple, fruity, oak, vanilla. Flavour is tart fruity apple, apple skin, bittersweet with woody oak, rubber, funk and earthy tannins. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, very dry funky tannic finish. Very drinkable.
