Master cider maker Julian Temperley and his team have championed classic West Country cider heritage for decades, cultivating traditional vintage apple varieties across one hundred and fifty acres of orchards. Keeving is an ancient, intricate method of natural clarification that halts fermentation early, leaving behind rich, unfermented apple sugars without the addition of artificial sweeteners or forced carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cider stands out for its deep bittersweet complexity, luxurious body, and naturally gentle effervescence. Crafted strictly from traditional bittersweet and bittersharp cider apples grown on the limestone-rich slopes of Burrow Hill, the fruit undergoes slow, cool cellar fermentation. The delicate keeving technique starves the wild yeasts of nutrients, resulting in a naturally off-dry, golden nectar bursting with aromas of baked red apples, bittersweet tannins, wild honey, and rustic farmyard character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe apples are hand-picked in autumn from mature traditional orchards containing historic bittersweet varieties such as Kingston Black, Yarlington Mill, and Dabinett. Upon pressing in vintage wooden presses, the juice undergoes keeving, a traditional process where natural pectins form a gel that rises to the top of the vat, removing nutrients and slowing fermentation. The cider ferments naturally and slowly over winter in cool cellars, retaining its natural fruit sugars before being bottled to create a natural, delicate sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it displays a deep, rich amber-gold colour with a light, fine mousse. The nose is exceptionally fragrant and evocative, opening with aromas of baked apple, tarte Tatin, and orchard blossoms, layered with notes of wild honey, autumn leaves, and subtle earthy spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and naturally sweet, offering concentrated baked fruit flavours impeccably balanced by a fine seam of fresh acidity and soft, structural tannins that lead into a long, satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its generous bittersweet fruit, natural sweetness, and earthy complexity, this West Country keeved cider is an exceptional partner for traditional British gastronomy.
