THE CIDER
A single orchard blend aged in a tawny port cask with half Ashton Bitter and half Ellis Bitter from the Burlands orchard. Fermented to dry, then rested on the lees in cask for 8 months. Before bottling a small portion of the Burlands orchard blend was added to bring some softness to the body. After two years in bottle this bold, tannic cider is coming into its own and showing its class. Drink at 12-15oc with red meat, game, wild mushrooms and offal.
THE PEOPLE

THE PLACE
