BURROW HILL STOKE RED BOTTLE FERMENTED CIDER 50CL 6%

Burrow Hill say ... "The Stoke Red is a completely different beast from the Medium Dry, pouring busily with a bright, copper colour and a thick mousse which settled into a really playful sparkle. The aroma is lean with toasted nuts; waxy, red apple skins; and delicate hints of ginger and oak. But more than that, it transported me to memories of being in a barn during the pressing season, that visceral sensation that only the best food and drinks draw out."

"This cider is bone dry, and I really love dry ciders, but it took me aback with its dryness at first. It Is taut and crisp across the palate with wood and leather at first but softening into that beautiful Stoke Red fruit. Again this cider is a wonderful expression of the fruit within."

Made from 100% Stoke Red apples, this cider goes through a year-long secondary fermentation in the bottle – after which the yeast is carefully disgorged. The result is a bone-dry, velvety and full-bodied cider with notes of blood orange and woody spiciness that can be enjoyed with food or as an aperitif.
