Polgoon

At last it’s ready, and after much work to get it as we wanted, Polgoon Aval is a sparkling cider made in the methode traditionelle of secondary fermentation in the bottle.This method has been used by the French in their production of their finest sparkling wines!!.
This has given us a light sparkling refined drink which can be taken as an aperitif,with lunch,with fish any light meal in fact.

To serve we recommend it is well chilled and best served in champagne flutes.

Why Aval?? Well its the Cornish word for Apple.So what better name for a Cornish drink made from Apple!

A superb new product from Polgoon.

The Vines are just beginning to burst into life awaiting the spring sunshine in Cornwall

We have started pruning at Polgoon,it is a labour of love governed by the cruel to be kind philosophy!!
I hope the pictures illustrate the before and after.

It has been established cloudy apple is better for you than clear (heavily filtered).

Cloudy apple juice is high in antioxidants which protect us against cancer and heart disease.
These antioxidants or polyphenol’s are the same ones found in berries such as blueberries they actually protect cells from attack by free radicals in the body.

There are up to 4 times the amount in cloudy juice compared to clear.

So go ahead try some it’s good for you,as well as delicious!!

The next wine available from us will be our sparkling rose from last years harvest.Hopefully to be on the market prior to Xmas for all the festivities.
