Let's start the voyage into fine cider with one of the most beautifully coloured  ciders we've seen this year (just look at that rich pink colour!) and it's got a sublime taste to match. 

This month’s top Fine Cider pick: 

fine-cider

Sassy Cider Rosé - ABV 3%

Sassy Rosé has been lovingly created by two young Frenchmen and childhood friends Xavier d’Audiffret Pasquier and Pierre-Emmanuel Racine-Jourden. In looking to revolutionise traditional Normandy cider they have blended eighteen varieties of apple grown organically in the Château de Sassy’s orchards; this is one of the lowest calorie alcoholic drinks on the market and the cider gets its distinct colour from the pink flesh of the Geneva Crab apple. The resulting cider is clean and sophisticated, a far cry from the funky flavours of traditional Normandy fine cider. 

Pulpt Gilly - ABV 5.7%

buy-fine-cider

Based in Hewish, Somerset, Pulpt markets itself as the cider for curious drinkers. A lightly sparkling, uniquely floral balanced cider made from 100% Gilly bittersharp apples. A totally unique, high quality cider that has a strong floral and bright character that is reflective of a good prosecco.

Worleys Special Reserve - ABV 5.4%

It has sweeetness and rounded tannins lifted by a long-lasting carbonation.This mendip based cider producer never adds flavourings and all ciders are both gluten free and suitable for vegans.

2014 WAS A TOP YEAR.

The sun beat down on Somerset orchards for 1618 hours in 2014. And as every cider-maker knows, good sunshine makes good apple juice sugars and good apples make good cider.

A keeved cider made from 100% bittersweet at 1057SG, fermented wild and slow into 2015 and bottle aged on the lees since then.

Mellow tannins, subtle fruity sweetness. Finished with hand-printed labels. 

Angioletti Secco Italian Fine Cider - ABV 5%

fine-cider-buy
