Dowdings Tower Brue Medium Cider

A medium still cider, made by blending traditional cider apple varieties mixed with a proportion of cooking apple varieties. Harvested by hand. Pressed, then fermented using proprietary yeasts. Pressed and fermented in small batches. No sulphites are used. All the cider is filtered, bottled and labelled in the orchard.

Item Description: This still, medium cider is packed full of apple flavour. A blend using Yarlington Mill, Sweet Coppin, Dabinett, Harry Masters Jersey, Browns together with various others and some Bramleys or other cooking apples. All the apples are hand picked from both Dowding's orchards as well as surplus local apples. Great care is taken to ensure none of the apples used are sprayed or fertilised.
