A classic premium Irish cider that draws on the tannic bittersweet heritage of Dabinett & Michelin apple varieties grown in Laois and Waterford orchards. Crisp, puckering with a gentle astringency softened by the fresh eating apple juice used to back sweeten complete the cider; if your palate veers to the dry, this is the one for you.

The Michelin and Dabinett apple varieties are delivered into us in mid-October. Having been mechanically harvested they require a strong wash and vigilant sorting to ensure we secure a fresh juice of the best quality possible. We use a specific champagne yeast to ferment this juice with the aim of encouraging the best flavour characteristics to come to the fore during the fermentation process.

Bottle from O’Briens, Athlone [290514]
Golden, good colour, clear, thin white head
Aroma of soft apple core, slight sweet syrup
Taste of soft fairly sweet apple, simple apple flavours, slight hint of honey, slightly tannic
Palate - Soft carb, light to medium body, fairly sweet. Finish is quite dry, touch of apple skin in finish
Overall - Quite a decent cider but I prefer the other 2 Stonewell ciders
