Temple Cider Michelin 2020

Item Description: A subtly sweet natural cider with hints of mandarin orange and with fine bubbles. Made from 100% handpicked, unsprayed Michelin apples picked and pressed by Paul and Jo at Temple Cider. Bottle fermented using the natural yeasts, this is naturally sparkling (pét nat) and keeved to produce a naturally medium-sweet cider (no sugar or sweetener added), and is an unpasteurised and unfiltered natural cider. This cider was awarded bronze by the IWSC.

The ancient method of keeving is a way to produce a naturally sweet Cider or Perry by causing the fermentation to stop early by starving the yeast of its nutrients. This creates a sweeter, lower alcohol product with a lovely fruity character.

Temple Cider is a small-scale craft cider producer in West Dorset, close to the borders of both Devon and Somerset. The cider-making talent behind Temple Cider is Paul, ably assisted by Jo and their three rescue dogs. They strive to make the type of ciders that they love to drink, real, full-juice ciders that are clean, refreshing and interesting.
