Willie Smith's - 2023 Kingston Black (apple cider) Price: $29 We love making single varietal cider from this apple as it never fails to deliver intense and strong expressions of the fruit. Once known as the ‘Black Taunton’, this apple was
in Taunton, Somerset to produce cider & has built a huge following and reputation throughout English and global cider making. It is a tricky tree to nurture at times, but rewards the orchardist well once it is pressed into juice, providing a golden tangerine hue. A fresh and vibrant nose shows characters of stainless steel, lemon zest and apple blossom. The taste breathes life unto your palate, racy acidity is balanced with sweetness bringing flavours of sherbet, crisp-fresh apple and butterscotch. Tannin adds weight and length that makes the Kingston Black rich, complex yet approachable. Recommended with seafood or soft cheese. 100% Tasmanian Apples Kingston Black - a traditional cider apple Ver menos
