Heritage and Legacy of El Gaitero
Founded in the late 19th century, El Gaitero stands as a pillar of excellence in cider making from Asturias, Spain. With roots dating back to 1888, the brand combines traditional Asturian methods with modern innovations, producing ciders that are both timeless and contemporary. This dedication to authentic craft is evident in Pomarina Natural, a cider that reflects the unique terroir of its origin with every pour.
The Apple Selection
Pomarina Natural is crafted exclusively from five specific apple varieties grown in El Gaitero’s own orchards in Villaviciosa: Durona de Tresali, De la Riega, Verdialona, Raxao, and Regona. These apples, selected for their thick skins and small size, imbue the cider with a complex flavor profile that balances sweetness and acidity. The careful selection ensures that each vintage maintains a consistent and exceptional quality.
A Refined Production Process
The making of Pomarina Natural follows a meticulous production process that honors traditional techniques while embracing modern precision. The apples are harvested at peak ripeness, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the natural juices. Fermentation occurs under controlled conditions to retain delicate aromas, with further aging on lees enhancing texture and depth. The cider achieves its effervescence through a secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks, resulting in a drink that is both fresh and aromatic.
Sensory Experience
Pouring a glass of Pomarina Natural reveals a pale yellow hue with vibrant bubbles reminiscent of a fine sparkling wine. The aroma is a blend of fresh orchard apples with hints of floral and citrus undertones. On the palate, the cider offers a harmonious balance of sweetness, acidity, and a touch of bitterness from apple skin phenolics. The overall impression is refreshing and sophisticated, suitable for those who appreciate a nuanced and rewarding sip.
Perfect Pairings
Pomarina Natural excels as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Its natural acidity makes it a match for tapas, grilled fish, and light salads. It also pairs beautifully with light cheeses and charcuterie boards. For dessert, try it alongside fruit-forward dishes to accentuate its crisp, clean flavors.
Market Appeal
Positioned as a premium craft cider, Pomarina Natural appeals to discerning drinkers seeking authenticity in a bottle. With its sophisticated profile and elegant presentation, it is perfect for both knowledgeable cider enthusiasts and those new to the category looking to explore beyond mainstream options.
