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.

Hazy light tan with a gentle sparkle. Fresh, fruity aroma with light sulphur. More sulphur on the palate, albeit with some decent bright apple notes. Tannins emerge in the finish. Ok, maybe a bit macro-ish.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Silver gold, some fruit, not a great perry, if anything slightly boozy, some decent fruit, but hot too. Not very subtle.

Bottle. A slightly unclear cider, pale golden in color, and with a small rim of white bubbles on top. The aroma is quite lovley, with lots of overripe apples, orchard and some manure-like rotting hay scents in a pleasant way. It’s tart and medium bodied, quenching and tasteful. Apples dominates the flavor, but there’s a good yeasty funkyness too. Quite astringent towards the end, Some added sulphites pulls down the score a bit, as it’s too detectable in the end. But overall, a nice companion with my rye bread and cheese. 100701
