Cider phantasies

The folk at Peckham’s have gone spiritual on it with Phantasmic, a wild cider available in 750ml ($19.99). Kingston Black, Knotted Kernel, Brown’s, Harry Masters Jersey and Chisel Jersey cider apples are fermented on their skins with Torulaspora delbrueckii and Prise de Mousse yeasts, then matured in pommeau barrels. The result is a dry, complex cider, with bitter tannins and a background of apple brandy, apple peel, spice and oak. peckhams.co.nz
