Our single-variety Dabinett Cyder is a rich and rounded drop. Aged in oak to balance the apple's natural bitterness, it offers warm aromas of marmalade, baked apple and fresh summer hay. Gently carbonated, it's a soft, medium-dry drop with caramelised apple notes and a pleasing bitterness. Perfect with a Hadspen sausage roll or chicken pie.
Discovered in the early 1900s growing as a wild seedling (aka a 'wilding') in a hedgerow in South Petherton, Dabinett has become one of the quintessential Somerset cyder apples. We source ours from an orchard close to the source, pressing and cold-fermenting the juice in our estate cellar, then maturing it in French oak barrels for six months.
Our cider is spelt with a ‘y’ to preserve the old West Country tradition, originating from a time when it was used to indicate superior strength and quality
