A very special beer just hit the bar. In celebration of Sheffield Wine Week this tart and tangy Pinot Noir Barrel Aged Heritage Saison is the sharp refresher you need to harness this heatwave.
Keeping Pomaces is a fusion of grain and grape, barrel and brett, teamwork and time.
Brewed using historic Plumage Archer barley and UK grown Olicana hops, aged in our Funk Dungeon in ex-wine French Oak barrels, we then blended this base onto the pomace of beautiful English Pinot Noir grapes, grown organically by Matt Gregory on his vineyard in in the Leicestershire Wolds.
The result is a true expression of English terroir, with each ingredient given space to flourish by the varied producers involved in bringing this to your glass, all sharing an ethos of low intervention, natural yeast and the utmost care and respect. Expect an elegant acidity with flavours of tart, crunchy apple and sharp raspberry sherbet, combined with jammy redcurrant and plum. Earthy undertones of rich oaky tannins and subtle herbal notes from the hops bring balance, before a lick of sweet vanilla ensures a clean and rounded overall finish.
