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 50 cl. Pours a cloudy golden with tiny floating impurities and a rough off-white head. Distinctly astringent apple aroma. Medium body, sweet apple notes yet with your typical British leathery astringency. Sometimes itโ€™s too much, but here itโ€™s nicely balanced. 190110

Golden with moderate fizz. Pear juice, oak and some medium dryness. Easy to drink but with not much character. Oh, for a drop of Gwatkins on draught.........

Bottle, Church Farm Organics, Thurstaston. Poured hazy gold. Aroma was pungent ripe green apple tinged with smoky oaky notes. Flavour was ever so slightly sweet, and dried off nicely. Quite gentle carbonation. This grew on me, think Iโ€™ll go and crunch on a carrot behind the barn.
