Pet-nat, dry, single variety Dabinett

Townsend Farm is a family farm​; ​they grow a ​variety of dessert and cider apples​ ​in ​the heart of ​Herefordshire​. In 2017​ they started to experiment with making juice to produce single varietal juice rather than a blended product.​ The next step on the journey as ​they transition to explor​e​ fermenting juice​s to learn about ​their work with the trees and the juice​, ​how early ​or​ late​ harvest and low or high ​hanging ​fruit​ impact the juice.

​All fruit​ used in this ​SV Dabinett​ ​​came from the ‘Big meadow’, an orchard right in front of Jamie’s cidery where they press, bottle and box all their juices and ciders. They picked apples late in the season and ​also let ​them ​sit in trailers​ ​ for a long time before pressing​. ​Angry juice, fermented out very calmly​.
