A lightly spiced apple cider layered with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and cardamom. Vanilla and oak soften the aromatic warmth, giving the palate a rounded, composed shape while fresh apple keeps the finish lively. The spice is measured rather than heavy, making this an easy seasonal pour with enough detail for the table. Serve chilled with roast pork, baked ham, mature cheddar or apple pie.

Traditional bittersharp and bittersweet apples, including Northern Spy and Bromley, are co-fermented with Gala and Ambrosia for this refreshingly dry cider. Stone-fruit fragrances accompany a crisp, fruity character, while the official profile lists seven per cent alcohol and a sweetness rating of one. The four named apple varieties and the dry style are stated directly by the producer.
