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 from the Bristol Cider Shop. Deep gold in colour with decent fizz. An easy drinking cider for the ABV, with plenty of apple juice and a dryish finish. Good.

Bottled@The Chriso Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011 "Donkey Dork Lord Edition". Big time gusher warning on this one. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is apples, toffee, fruits, earth and some mild spices. Flavour is much the same, but in a very pleasant balance.

Bottle at home in London, after biking for 40 minutes and running for 30 minutes. Pours clear, bubbly gold with no head. Holds a dusty, slightly dank apple aroma with just hints of sugar. Flavor is medium sweet, rather dry, with some faintly tangy apples speckled with must. Light to medium in body with fizzy, lively carbonation. Semi-dry finish, not too sweet, more musty apples. A very well-rounded cider I would say. I really wouldn’t guess this is over 5% abv. Solid.

Bottled. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is apples, some earth and quite spicy. Flavour is dry apples, some wood and also mild wooden dry notes. Rather mouthdrying cider. Pleasant, but feels a bit thin. Crispy tonguetickling carbonation.
