Description
Founded in Herefordshire.
Pressed, fermented, and bottled in Gloucestershire.

Dunkertons history reaches back to 1980 when Ivor and Susie Dunkerton made the decision to escape London and buy a small holding in Pembridge, Herefordshire. They realised that with such a small amount of land they needed to specialise in some form of agriculture and spotted that traditional cider making presented a fantastic opportunity.

In 2014 Ivor and Susie passed Dunkertons to their son Julian and his business partner Bean.

In 2016 the production business relocated to our new state of the art cidery at Dowdeswell Park, Cheltenham.

Bottle at home picked up from Canary Wharf Waitrose. A light hazed dull yellow gold coloured pour with a fading white head. Aroma is sour tangy apple, sour milky, woody, some alcohol. Flavour is composed of tangy sour, mouldy wood, tangy spicy apple, bitter granny smith , petrol, and hot alcohol. Palate is sour and tangy, spicy , moderate carbonation. Strong challenging cider. Not a big fan.

Many thanks to Minutemat for this bottle. Spicy floral nose. The cider starts fresh and fruity, alcohol is there, fruity fresh apples, moderate sweetness. Tart in the end, very round with tannins and a nice sweetness.

Thank you for sharing Giovanni! Sampled 500 ml. bottle @ GBF 2017. Darker golden. Nose is nice cider funk, sweeter apple, low sulphur-like note. Taste is sweetish apple largely, low mild funk in finish, lingering sweetness, fain sulphur. Substantial body. Higher sweetness, low but clear funk. Reminiscent of the other 2 ciders that I have had from these guys. More mellow maybe but I seem to prefer that.
