Gwatkin Foxwhelp Cider
ABV. 6% | 750ML | VEGAN | GLUTEN FREE
Single variety, dry farmhouse cider
Foxwhelp is one of the oldest recorded apple varieties, dating back over 300 years. It is thought to have originated on the Herefordshire Gloucestershire borders, where it remains as popular today with commercial and traditional cider makers alike. These trees grow to a good height, bearing apples which are good for blending with the lesser varieties. However, it is best kept as a single variety, which produces a dry, crisp cider, full of body and flavour.
