Experience the Legacy of El Gaitero
For over a century, El Gaitero has been at the forefront of Spanish cider-making, with Pomarina Brut being a jewel in its illustrious crown. Nestled in the lush landscapes of Villaviciosa, Asturias, this renowned cidery stands as a bastion of tradition and innovation. With a history dating back to 1898, El Gaitero combines time-honored methods with contemporary techniques to craft ciders that are both authentic and extraordinary.
A Tribute to Asturian Apples
Pomarina Brut is a celebration of Asturian terroir. Utilizing five distinctive local apple varieties—Durona de Tresali, De la Riega, Verdialona, Raxao, and Regona—this cider captures the essence of the region’s unique climate and soil. Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status ensures that each apple contributes its character to this harmonious blend, fostering a cider that is both robust and refined.
The Art of Cider-Making
The creation of Pomarina Brut is an artful process that pays homage to traditional cider-making practices. It begins with a low-temperature fermentation to preserve delicate aromas, followed by aging on lees for two months, which imparts a rich complexity to the profile. A secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks cultivates its signature sparkle, resulting in a cider that gleams with effervescence and vibrant vitality.
Sensory Journey Through Taste and Aroma
Pomarina Brut greets the senses with a brilliant pale golden hue and a lively cascade of fine bubbles. The nose is an intricate tapestry of apple, vinegar, white wine, and subtle herbal notes like rosemary and peppermint. On the palate, it unfolds with refreshing briskness—a dry brut style, with layers of citrus, herbal nuances, and a whisper of minerality. This sophisticated complexity culminates in a clean, slightly bitter finish with lingering citrus and herbaceous tones.
Perfect Pairings for a Culinary Delight
Serve this exquisite cider lightly chilled to best appreciate its refreshing attributes. It pairs beautifully with seafood, particularly oysters, where its acidity enhances the briny freshness. The cider’s dryness melds seamlessly with fish dishes, and its herbal undertones compliment light tapas and creamy cheeses.
