A traditional hand-crafted cider made from our Kingston Black apples grown only a few metres from our cidery. It has complex aromas of ripe apples and butterscotch with a burnt toffee character reminiscent of vanilla crème brûlée.
It’s medium sweet with balanced acid, and tannin to provide a long and refreshing finish. This cider is best served with your favourite artisan cheese.
