The apple version of a Canadian ice wine, The Newt has simulated the freezing conditions found there to create this unctuous English ice cyder. Made from various varieties of freshly pressed eating apples, including Ida Red, Jonagold and Braeburn, the juice is crash-frozen in 1,000 litres cube containers to minus 25℃ where the frozen juice is held for a minimum of 5 weeks. Thawed out slowly, the resulting syrup-like, super-concentrated juice is drawn off (the water in the juice remains as ice and is discarded), and cold fermented in our cellar until the desired specific gravity and ABV is reached. The ice cyder is then filtered to remove the yeast and to arrest the fermentation and it’s then aged in steel tanks for 6 months.

Bottle pour at The Cider House - Borough Market, pours a deep dark amber brown. Aroma brings out burnt sugars, toffee apple, and some molasses. Flavour is rich and sugary, with lots of burnt dark sugars, stewed apples, toffee apples, and molasses. Complex and lots of dark sugars. Very good but not a top-tier ice cider.

375ml bottle from Cider is Wine. 2020 Vintage. Pale golden colour, no head and aroma of sweet apple, fleshy, boozy. Taste is sweet, apple, fruity, with caramel & toffee notes, some tartness, and drying with warming booze. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, sweet boozy finish. Nicely sippable.
