Artistraw Cider Strange Shrew 2021

Description Gently sparkling with a riot of colourful mango and tropical fruit notes ‘Strange Shrew’ is a bittersweet dominant blend, balanced with some tart Foxwhelp.

An Artistraw is a strange old Herefordian dialect word for shrew. Both lovers of language, the word first pricked our ears on a visit to Tom’s relatives who were living in a beautiful wisteria draped, timber framed cottage surrounded by old apple orchards; indeed the very trees that produced Tom’s first vintage way back in 2003 and the home we would later come to rent when we first made the move to this county. Shrews have precious little to do with cider, but for us they speak of a connection to old Herefordshire and in particular of that wild ancient place, where we first fell in love with the art of cider making. 750ml. 7%.

Pair this cider with creamy dishes (obvs).
