SV Bisquet cider made as a homage to orange wine
Orange cider is an infrequent but happy homage to one of LP’s favourite things, orange wines. This 2022 vintage is organic Bisquet from veteran trees, wild fermented in tank, before a year-long elévage in neutral French oak. 2022 was a great year to be working with the fickle Bisquet which, in the long warm summer and autumn, ripened to perfection. With such apples the phenolic compounds are distributed evenly throughout the fruit and with such bounty from nature, little needs to be done. The fruit was pressed to the tank and fermented spontaneously. Towards the end of fermentation LP racked the cider to neutral French oak and left it to do its thing. The cider developed in a lovely way in which the phenolic qualities of this apple began to resemble those of many amber and orange wines at which point ( Jul 2023) they decided to bottle.
