Bushel + Peck The Gribble 2019 Vintage Limited Edition Cider

Bushel + Peck The Gribble 2019 Vintage Limited Edition is a traditional-style, full-juice, wild fermented, pétillant naturel sparkling cider with a rich, chewy flavour. Yarlington Mill is a popular, traditional variety of bittersweet cider apple that was originally cultivated after discovered growing in the wild in Somerset. The fruit for this release came from an orchard in Herefordshire. After pressing in November 2019, a little malic acid was added to improve conditions for the natural yeasts, and then allowed a long slow ferment over the winter and following spring, before being bottled in June 2020.

Each bottle in this release is individually numbered and contains detailed information on the back of the label on the pressing and fermentation process, along with the origins and characteristics of the Yarlington Mill apple.

Based in Gloucestershire, Bushel + Peck believe strongly in caring for the environment. They maintain and restore abandoned orchards, use good quality unsprayed fruit that would often otherwise go to waste, and among other initiatives support the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
