About
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.

Sampled from bottle at ’In de Wildeman’ during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016. Clear, pale straw yellow. Sourish-fruity aroma of pear, some apples and a touch of gooseberry. Sweetish, slightly sourish, fruity taste of pear, apple and white grapes, followed by a short, slightly tart and dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent and quite astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

2010 vintage bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear deep gold with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, earthy, sweet apple pie, a bit sugary, some barnyard funk and white sugar. The taste is crisp, light tartness, apple skin, wood, tannins, white grape skin, alcohol hit with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet, but ok.

Bottle shared at the Watford tasting, many thanks to Leighton for this one. A dark golden orange coloured pour with a fading white head. Aroma is funky dry apple, plasrtic, woody, hint of parmesan. Flavour is composed of crisp woody apple, dry, hint of plastic , drying wood. Palate is crisp, tangy, pithy, highish carbonation. Interesting

Bottle shared in Watford - picked up at Kris Wines. Vintage 2010. Pours clear honey-gold with a slight white fizz head. Ripening apples in the nose, some funky notes, apple skin, faint peach. Light-medium sweet flavour, really dry, with bitter apple skins, grass, red apple. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Bone dry to finish, with further apple peel bitterness, ligh alcohol warmth. Great stuff.

Purecraft, 5/31/16. Thought this was a nice mid-dry cider.  Pretty much just got the clean apple flavors. Balanced. Crisp and mid-dry. Well made.

Bottle. Not very complex, but authentic natural apple character, light rot, woody, light basementy. Almost moderate carbonation. Alcohol hidden dangerously. Very easy drinking, simple but charming.
