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

Extra credit for being organic. Slightly hazy yellow/orange pour. Decent carbonisation. Aromas of (red) apples, hints of oak and smoke. Taste is sweet apple, pineapple, raisin, a hint of toffee. Good stuff.

Clear dark yellow colour with thin head and fine carbonation. Feels very natural, close to raw, fresh juice. Slightly sweet but with a dry finish so it works well.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Cloudy golden body, a few bubbles on the surface, poor lacing. Moderate smell of apple skins. Soft taste of apples with a sweet twist. Prolonged ending. Accepted. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Sample courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Golden colour, sort-lived bubbly white head and aroma of apple, funk, hint of apple pie. Taste is sweetish, apple, woody funk, orchardy, horseblanket hint, and bittersweet with drying tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
