The ratios worked out perfectly here to produce a delicious balance of crisp floral acidity with rich complex finish and a satisfying mouth feel.

We almost didn't make it to this orchard in 2021, it being a good year for apples. We swung by one lunchtime, following the long winding track up the ridge seemingly to the middle of nowhere. With nobody but the sheep to witness the work, we soon filled the truck with enormous cookers and left so much fruit behind it made us long for more time (and a bigger truck).
