Why we chose it

“Cherries steeped until they're more spirit than fruit. Spoon them over vanilla ice cream and pour the syrup on top — that's the whole recipe.”

About this wine

The Somerset Cider Brandy Company at Pass Vale Farm is the only UK producer licensed to distil apple spirit in the traditional manner. Alongside their celebrated cider brandies and Pomona liqueur, the distillery produces this exceptional preserve: whole Morello cherries steeped in Somerset eau de vie, slowly absorbing the spirit over time to create a product of extraordinary richness and depth. A Somerset tradition dating back generations.

The cherries are plump, intensely flavoured and deeply boozy — lusciously tart Morello fruit perfectly balanced by the clean, warming spirit. Wonderful spooned over ice cream, stirred into cocktails such as a Somerset Sour, folded into chocolate desserts, or simply enjoyed as a luxurious after-dinner treat. An outstanding gift for food and drink lovers.

About the producer

Julian Temperley bought Burrow Hill at Kingsbury Episcopi in 1969, and spent twenty years fighting for the licence that let him distil — granted in 1989, reviving a Somerset craft that had all but vanished. Cider apples from the surrounding orchards are pressed, fermented and distilled on the farm, then aged in oak. The Slow Food movement recognised the work in 2003.
