We selected some of our best cider snd left it to mature in oak barrels to give a distinctive rich flavour. We’ve named it after the magnificent Red Oak tree growing in the field next to our orchard.

Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat! Golden amber colour, no head and aroma of musty funk, woody oak. Taste is medium sweetish, musty, tangy apple, fruity, orchardy, funky, woody oak, vanilla, some tartness and earthy drying tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry woody mellow tannic finish. Very drinkable

75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours a deep varnished gold. Pleasantly deep ripened medium apple fruit. Taste continues, wonderfully ripe medium fruit, a touch dusty, low acidity. Just a great well rounded cider.
