Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1980
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 Cork & Cask. Pale golden body with a light haze and no head. Lively carbonation. Aroma of vinegar and lemon. Flavour of lemon and a hint of nail varnish. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Boozy and sharp. I love their organic cider but I didn’t like this.
