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.

0,5 flaske (6,8%) hos Egil mens vi venter på at bacalaoen skal bli klar: uklar gylden med kort bruseskum. Deilig aroma og smak av engelske ciderepler med en diskret touch av vanilje, honning og kanel. Tørr og forfriskende med lett perlende munnfølelse.

0,5 flaske (6,8%) hos Egil mens vi venter på at bacalaoen skal bli klar: uklar gylden uten skum. Deilig aroma og smak av engelske ciderepler med en diskret touch av vanilje, honning, kanel og røyk. Halvtørr og forfriskende i Londons sommervarme, og min første cider på denne turen.
