Cider fortified with aged apple spirits 22% abv. Label art by Janet Byer Sherman. 200 cases made.
While most of our ciders are about capturing moments in time and place, our pommeau is about concentration, age and blending. There are three components that make up the blend- spirits, distilled from our apples and pears and aged for at least 2 years, cryo-concentrated fresh apple juice, and dry cider. The spirits come off the still at around 70%abv. We blend them with cryo-concentrated apple juice down to around 45% abv, put them in oak wine barrels (mostly old, but a few new) and forget about them for two years. When it’s time to blend our next batch of pommeau we do extensive tastings of different blend potentials while referencing older batches of pommeau. The trick is to find a synergy between acid, sugar and tannin, while hitting our target alcohol by volume of 22%.
For sipping after dinner or to pair with chestnuts roasted on an open fire or winter pears poached in pommeau with warm spices.
Eve’s is an orchard-based cidery producing Traditional Method ciders at the intersection of the Southern Finger Lakes and the Northern Appalachian Plateau. Our best days are spent outside in the sun and rain growing apples on steep hillsides and rolling them down to the cidery.
