THE 3 CIDERS WE WILL BE TASTING ARE:

Cidentro Still Cider 2018 75cl

An exclusive dry, still vintage cider from the finest English cider apples using 100% freshly pressed juice, it’s matured for 6 months for flavours to fully develop, giving an elegance of style and depth of character which can be enjoyed in the same way as wine.

Pilton Queen of the Brue Quince 2018 37.5cl

A natural fruit wine made exclusively from quince, hand-picked in orchards on the banks of the river Brue in Somerset. Sterile filtered, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Brännland Pernilla Perle 2017 75cl

This year’s Pernilla Perle differs from earlier years in that it is drier and has a higher profile of apple clarity with more outspoken tannins. 2017 was one of the hardest years for decades for apple growing in Sweden with heavy frost and hail in the spring. As a result, the 2017 harvest has given our cider a rather more austere, yet elegant and more complex style compared to previous vintages. The balance between sugar, alcohol and fruit has been joined by a length that holds great promise for future development and ageing.

Tasting Notes

Cidentro Still Cider 2018

Yellow gold, vibrant and clear. Aromas of hay, flavours of apple and a winning combination of richness and crisp apple-tartness delivering a lasting finish.

Pilton Queen of the Brue Quince 2018

The quince’s rose-like floral aroma and unique tartness make a truly distinctive, full-flavoured sparkling drink with a long fruity finish.

Stunning, vibrant light gold colour, bubbles effervesce, powerful aromatic flavoursome nose inviting – indeed imploring – you to taste. Immediate notes of elderflower, sauvignon, berry intensity, and yet a light dry palate with crisp acidity that’s clean and tart. Fruit tantalises and dances across the palate demanding food matching of the highest order.

Brännland Pernilla Perle 2017

Appearance: lightly sparkling, golden hue, crystal clarity. Nose: nectarine, pear, apple blossom, honey, vinous. Palate: pear, ripe apple, lychee, orange, almonds and white cherries. Light lingering structure, slightly grippy. Sweet attack with really juicy fruit flavours, nice acid profile on finish.

Food Pairing

Cidentro Still Cider 2018

Cheese: baked Camembert, English Cheddar, Roquefort Blue. Savoury: wild mushroom Stroganoff, Spanish paella, bacon cheese burger. Sweet: apple tarte tatin, banana bread. Regional speciality: Long Clawson Blue Stilton

Pilton Queen of the Brue Quince 2018

Try with your best smoked salmon or a home made genuine lemon tart – and never skimp. Also goes wonderfully well with pâtés, cold meats such as salami, lamb and pork dishes, and strong cheese.

Brännland Pernilla Perle 2017

It’s off-dry character makes it well suited for a wide variety of gastronomic pairings. As an aperitif on its own, or together with Asian food, right through to heavy continental-style pork dishes and a range of desserts.
