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.

Hunny Bubble from Dorset Nectar Cider

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle from Budgens, Swanage. Syrupy apple aroma. Amber gold. No head. Medium-heavy sweet. Honey at the forefront. The sour apply is there still though and adds restraint. Light-medium bodied. Average carbonation. Long finish with a touch of dryness. I like. Refreshing after a day in the sun.
