Sampford Courtenay Warhorse Cider is made to reflect how cider was made in Devon in 1914. The cider is not filtered through a machine, but racked twice before it finishes fermenting and is then bottled without pasteurizing. The last of the natural sugars slowly ferment in the bottle adding natural condition and a fine haze that soon settles to the bottom of the bottle leaving the cider clear.

Sampford Courtney Warhorse cider is a dry cider made from Ellis Bitter apples a famous Devon variety grown extensively on our farm. It has softer tannins, a lighter body and a more acidic finish than cider made from Bittersweet varieties like Dabinett.

750ml bottle from Sampford Courtenay. Slightly hazy deep orange golden colour, no head and aroma of funky apple with a vinegary hint. Taste is tangy apple, bittersweet with vinegary funk, leathery, woody and drying tannins. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tannic finish. Quite drinkable.
