Broxwood Foxwhelp apples were milled and macerated for 36 hours before pressing, then fermented slowly at 70C for 3 months. Conditioned in bottle with additions of Zari and a 2017 blend of Woolton cider apples followed by a further 6 months on the lees prior to disgorging. Enticing aromas of red fruits, apple skins and wild strawberry layered over toffee, raisin and an earthy complexity. The taste is bright upfront with a sherbet tang of the Foxwhelp, soft integrated tannin and a delicate bitter finish. Enjoy with foods such as herby roast chicken, tapas, chargrilled veg, charcuterie and cheese.

750ml bottle from Scrattings. Sparkling, pale golden colour, a short-lived bubbly foam head on top and aroma of funky apple, fruity, orchardy. Taste is tangy, fruity, red apple, core & skin notes, some tartness, with strawberry & grapey hints and some mellow tannins. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tart earthy finish. Nicely drinkable.
