Little Pomona’s makers, Susanna and James Forbes have
a long history with libations. James worked as a wine buyer and
marketer, while Susanna who started in physics became one of the
UK’s leading libation writers. Do check out her website and blog
Drink Britain, it will
be time well spent.
Listen to this chat with Susanna and James as they
tell their tale of moving out of city and into the country to begin
selling Little Pomona commercially in 2015.
The orchard is located in Herefordshire, in the town
of Bromyard.
Little Pomona Ciders
There is no doubt that these ciders are stepping out!
Read: not your typical UK cider.
James’ background in wine is certainly influencing
the profile of each cider produced. If ever there was a cider that
would be worthy of buying one now to drink and 5 more to cellar,
Little Pomona is the cidery to choose.
Delicate, yet bold, each cider that I tasted during
this chat was complex, tannic and not your typical UK cider.
