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.

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.

Bottle, courtesy of Minutemat in a Euroswap. Pours clear golden with a medium, short lived head. Aroma is apples, light farmhouse, acidic, soft booze. Body is medium, softly sweet and acidic, with some tartness, and the alcohol shining through. Strong lively carbonation. Rather low flavours for the thick mouthfeel. Palate is medium try, and again slightly booze. Quite good.
