At Townsend Farm, James Hall grows a variety of dessert & cider apples. Sat in the heart of Herefordshire, they began exploring fermenting their juice, keen to see how early or late harvest, & low or high-hanging fruit, impact the juice & the cider that results. This selection showcases the charms of the Dabinett apple a variety that is relatively low in acid and fairly high in tannin, its taste is marked by a unique savoury, almost meaty taste, that can even be reminiscent of fennel salami when used as a single variety. It can make a fascinating single-variety cider, but is also commonly used in blends.
Selection of 3 includes:
Dabinett Pet Nat 2021
Dabinett 2021
Dabinett 2021 & Jonagold 2022
