Description
Sir John Starkey says:

“Because my apples are picked when they are fully mature, they have soaked up more weeks of autumn sunshine and absorbed more goodness from the Southwell keuper marl clay, which is characteristic of the land where the original Bramley tree still stands.

This results in my apples having that perfect Bramley blush, distinctive texture and extraordinary taste. And all without adding anything artificial.”

16/4/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost clear pale golden with a very small bubbly white head. Aroma is floral, green apple, vaguely mucky, twiggy, oily. Light sweetness and moderate bitterness. Dry and slightly tart finish. Not a big fan.

750ml bottle from Mansgill Farm Shop. Pours a pale yellow gold colour, no head and aroma of oil, hay, hint of apple. Taste is tart, tangy, green fleshy apple, some oily funk, citric, and drying acidic. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry acidic finish. Quite OK, very dry and acidic
