Cidery
in
Charlton Kings,
Gloucestershire,
England 🏴
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1980
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.

Clear. Champagne coloured. Aroma has some funky yeast and wood. Although not sweet it does leave a pleasant fruity sugary aftertaste on the lips.

Joined purchase with Kraddel @ Cider Cider. Sparkling, darker golden appearance. Smell is apple, close to apple juice, flowers. Taste is sparkling, faintly acidic but mainly sweet apple juice, light sulphur-like taste in the back, matches,.. Light sparkling. Sulphur-like taste took it down for me but others liked way more than me including the guys from 3 Fonteinen.
