About
Dorset Nectar artisan cider is naturally fermented from 11 varieties of West Country cider apples grown on our family run farm. The sun ripened apples are whole crushed and pressed at the orchard’s cider barn, then patiently nurtured to create a smooth, delicious cider that is really fruity in taste and bursting with flavour. We hand crafted both of our hydraulic presses, the largest using two 58 tonne rams. We press using a traditional rack and cloth method and are renovating an old twin screw 1863 press from Chard.

Elderflower Cider from Dorset Nectar Cider

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 9 Texture 4 Overall 6
9/5/2021. Taster courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear golden with a short-lived bubbly white head. Aroma is elderflower dominated, light apple, funky notes, and a touch of rubber. Moderate sweetness with a tangy sharp bitter tart edge. Moderate body, oily texture, quite fizzy. Not so keen on the aroma or fizz but enjoyable to taste.
