Ross on Wye Cider & Perry Brown Snout S.V.C 2020 Dry Sparkling

Description

Brown Snout is a beloved Herefordshire bittersweet variety, but the orchard we used to buy apples from was grubbed up in 2017. Since then we have searched for a new supply fruitlessly! Finally in 2020, thanks to a tip-off from Pat of Jolter Press, eight of us spent a drizzly October day crawling around, handpicking one tonne of fruit at Albert’s insistence, as it is his favourite apple! A juicy, soft texture with aromatic hints of lemon peel and citrus jelly are aided by oak barrel maturation, giving this cider an extra dimension of tropical jam. 750ml. 7.4%.
