Gospel Green Brut 2018
A ground-breaking dry cider produced in Hampshire uses the same production technique as Champagne. Luxurious to savour, with just the right balance of sweetness. The pure and fresh flavour of apple with the double fermentation process adds to its complexity. Cider connoisseurs will adore it.
Gospel Green Rosé 2017
A really innovative cider made from a blend of 20% cooking and 80% dessert apples with a dosage of Pinot Noir. Cellar-aged for a minimum of 12 months, this cider uses the same production technique as Champagne – indeed, Gospel Green is the only cidermaker whose ciders are analysed by the IOC in Epernay, in Champagne – and it very much reflects the Gospel Green house style of finesse and subtlety.
Once Upon A Tree Dabinett Pinot Noir Co-Ferment 2018
This cider co-ferment builds on a passion to raise the profile of cider as a wine alternative, which combines winemaking techniques and grape bi-products with cider. Made from 100% not-from-concentrate fruit, from a single vintage of Dabinett and dessert apples, fermented over Bacchus wine yeast lees and aged for 9 months.
Brännland Claim Iscider 2017
Claim Iscider claims new territory for ice cider. An ice wine made from 100% Swedish apples, concentrated and elevated using the natural winter cold of northern Sweden. A true and original expression of the country, its apples and the family of ciders from which it was born.
White flowers on the nose and juicy, sweet, fresh acidity on the finish. Claim evokes lightness and light, spring and summer, in contrast to the flavours and scents of late autumn and winter apples associated with the company’s traditional ice cider.
Tasting Notes
Gospel Green Brut 2018
Aromatics of elderflower, brioche and green apples. Crisp with a light acidity and a slight earthiness coming through on the palate. Smooth with a rounded finish and a long-lasting mousse.
Gospel Green Rosé 2017
The dosage of Pinot Noir creates aromatics of wild strawberry and hedgerow berries with a hint of floral rosehip. A delicate sparkling rosé cider with a touch of baked apple and a smooth, rounded finish.
Once Upon A Tree Dabinett Pinot Noir Co-Ferment 2018
Vibrant dark pink in appearance, with aromas of strawberry, honey, as well as hints of vanilla spice and toffee apple… this cider presents an excellent fusion of red berry fruits from the Pinot grape and an apple richness from the Dabinett apples to give the palate a huge mouthful of fruit, enlivened by a gentle spritz. This is an altogether grown up, sophisticated approach, with huge length and a soft dry finish.
Brännland Claim Iscider 2017
Appearance: pale golden, straw.
Nose: fragrant and aromatic with notes of tea, honeysuckle, strawberry & white flowers.
Palate: golden kiwi and white grapes with pomegranate and rose petals on the long, pleasing juciy finish with sweet rosé or blush wine character.
