Made from three vintages from a single orchard. Principally late season Dabinetts, an aromatic Somerset variety, rich in tannins, considered the premier Cider apple. Grown in award-winning orchards less than 7 miles from our Cider Mill in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.

The blend of three vintages gives Showerings Triple Vintage a beautifully complex character. The recent 2021 Vintage brings a light freshness whilst the blend is given depth and character from the aged vintages 2017 and 2018. The long, slow gentle fermentations result in a very fine dry cider.

375ml bottle. Clear golden orange pour. Fairly straightforward flavour profile, not a great amount of depth some moderate clean apple fruit with a light crisp bitterness and mild apple skin. Nicely rounded, but expected more, especially with such an elaborate engraved bottle!

Bottle sample courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Bright orangey gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of fruity apple, pulpy. Taste is sweetish, tangy, apple, fleshy, caramel hint, with some woody notes and drying tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle at home, from Elston & Son online, 25/09/22. Golden copper with a decent white cap, as it goes for a cider, that eventually fades away to the edge. Nose is waxed apples, caramel, apple core, light orchard wood, straw. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, caramel, tannins, sugars, tarte edge. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Ok if unspectacular.
