New Release: Pommeau 2022 Fortified Apple Liquer

Silver Medal, Australian Cider Awards 2025

This latest release of Pommeau has been finished with Bittersweet cider apples to give additional complexity and interest.

Here's what the Australian Cider Awards judges said when they awarded it a silver medal:

Pale gold, clean appearance. Aromas of fresh apple, toffee, and honeydew melon. Smooth, creamy palate with apricot and raisin notes, good balance of sweetness. Long finish with good complexity.

If you've had Pommeau 2021 you will appreciate the lovely warmth and sweetness but this is a younger vintage so a little crisper and dynamic, less mellowed.

Pommeau is a Normandy style aperitif or liquer, over two years in the making. Apple Spirit distilled from our own cider is fused with freshly crushed apple juice in french oak barrels over 2 years to create a rare caramel, apple experience with the warmth of a spirit finish. Pommeau is best served chilled as an aperitif, with soft cheese, or as a digestive with baked apple tart or even drissled over some ice cream.

Once opened, keep your Pommeau in a fridge. Best enjoyed within about 6 weeks after opening.

17% ALC/VOL | 375ml bottle

What is Pommeau?

Pommeau is the most commonly used name for an Apple Mistelle - a blend of juice and apple brandy. The style originated in the North of France in the Normandy, Brittany and Maine regions but is now made around the world. It is sometimes called an Apple Liquer but all the sweetness here is from fruit, not added sugar!
