It's back! This gloriously accessible tannic cider is made from classic traditional cider apple varietals from traditional Herefordshire orchards - Michelin 75%, Dabinett 20% and Foxwhelp 5% - fermented with wild yeasts.

The 2021 harvest saw a good fruit character and slightly higher sugar levels than 2019. The resulting cider is dense, cloudy and juicy, with ripe red apple, hints of mandarin orange and some nice citrus in the finish. Wonderfully refreshing.

750ml bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - hazy golden colour, with a short lived fizz/head. Nose - ripe apple, lighty bruised apple and a touch woody. Taste - sweeter than the nose, with tangy, juicy apple, and no sign of wood. Palate - high acidity, fruity and medium bodied, with light fruit tannin on the finish. Overall - very nice.

Panda 🐼 at home big thanks to Danlo. A mostly clear deep orange coloured pour with a small halo of white head. Aroma is nice big funky apple, woody bark, some horsey funk, some mineral. Flavour is composed of sharp pithy apple, mineral, lemon rind, woody tannin, bark, drying mineral in the finish, mellow funk. Palate is semi sharp, tannin, highish carbonation to drying finish. Nice punchy cider.

750ml bottle from Fine Cider Co. Hazy golden colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of juicy apple, funky, stone fruit hint. Taste is sweetish, tangy, apple, juicy fruity, stone fruit hints, with some tart acidity and mellow drying tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying tannic finish. Very drinkable.
