Sour cherries, wild cider and fresh Braeburn juice. What’s not to like?! This tangy and fruity beast was blended and packaged without a name. Loved the flavour and the battle between sharpness and fruity sweetness, but just couldn’t think of a name.

A fruity, hazy new release that combines the old and new. The luxurious and endless tannins of our 2022 harvest Dabinett have been given time to smooth out and relax, and then reinvigorated by blending in an equal share of younger, apple-y cider from 2023. Redstreak and Browns always combine to make something soft and juicy, with the Browns offering gentle red fruit Acidity and the Somerset medium bodied tannins. A complete cider.
