Avalowa means to gather apples which evokes a lovely image! This is a full juice, wild fermented, bottle condtioned (saprkling) dry cider with no added sulphites and barrel aged.
A blend of four single variety barrels; two Cornish bittersharps, Dufflin and Colloggett Pippin and two Devon varieties, Sweet Alford and Tremlett’s Bitter. The apples were handpicked from unsprayed orchards in a small valley on a tributary of the Fowey estuary in Cornwall. This is a bottle conditioned cider, fermented and aged in ex oak wine barrels for 11months.
You'll get notes of grapefruit and melon underpinned with a slate minerality. A dry cider that goes beautifully with food, particularly seafood. Can also be enjoyed as an aperitif.
