Dabinett 2018 - 7.8%

Dabinett 2018

Ross on Wye

7.8% abv

A keg conditioned cider made from ultra-ripe, late season Dabinett, the king of cider apples, a bittersweet apple that originates in Somerset. This means it has high tannin and high sugar, although in the process of cidermaking, the sugar is converted into alcohol. 2018 was an exceptional year for cider because we had such a hot, sunshine-filled summer. This pushes the sugar levels in the apples up which means we end up with much more alcoholic, much more intensely flavoured cider. Please note abv may vary.
