Raison d’Être is the quintessential expression of ourselves; the purest definition of what cidermaking means on our farm. This cider is bone dry, fermented in an oak cask and aged, patiently and quietly, before bottle conditioning. 2018 was an exceptional year for cidermaking. The hot summer meant that sugars, alcohol,
and flavour intensity all skyrocketed. This is a special vintage.

(Bottle) Golden amber colour, slightly hazy, with foamy white head. Fruity, slightly funky nose with red apples, oak wood, hay, citrus peel and marzipan. Fruity, tart taste with notes of red apples, oak wood, marzipan, citrus peel, a touch of smoke and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, dry. Dry, tart and woody. Lots of character. Nice one.

750ml bottle from Scrattings. Slightly hazy golden colour, short-lived thin white foam head and aroma of phenolic wood barrel, funky apple. Taste is fruity apple, woody, barrel, oaky, whisky notes, with some fruitiness and drying tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy tannic finish. Very drinkable.
