This was our first and remains our most popular cider. The medium dry contains approximately 20% cider apples and 80% eating apples. The cider apples provide the astringency in the cider and the structure on which the full, rounder and more citrus characteristics of the eating apples hang themselves. Our apples for this cider are currently drawn from the counties of Laois, Waterford and Tipperary. The eating apples are harvested from late July through to September and the bittersweet apples are available from October onwards.

500ml bottle from Baggot Street Wines. Golden colour, foamy white head that dissipates away to a thin layer leaving some lacing and musty apple aroma. Taste is tangy apple, sweet, with some light oak, caramel and funk. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry finish. Quite drinkable.
