Artistraw Cider Gold Dust

Description Is there anything more wonderful than a sea of sweet smelling, pale pink apple blossoms dappled with soft Spring light, thrumming with the hum of wings transporting gold dust and in turn securing us a harvest?

Whilst apple blossom contains both male and female reproductive organs, many varieties of apple are in fact self-sterile meaning that they rely on a pollinator to set fruit. Even the few varieties that don’t necessarily require pollination, do far better when set by different varieties. It goes without saying that pollinators are utterly essential to the production of food and our collective future.

Naturally sparkling and with a flavour reminiscent of bright, tropical banana and mango. We think this pairs beautifully with a delicious hard cheese like Comté. Drink young and fresh or lay down and allow to mature for up to five years. 750ml. 7%.

Gold Dust is made with a single variety of apple called Brown Snout. An old Herefordian variety thought to be a relative of Bisquet, we have access to just twenty trees which bear fruit every other year. 

We're delighted that Gold Dust has found a fan in none other than Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall! 7.0% Vol. Titratable acidity:  2.9 g/l Residual (natural) sugar:  8.0 g/l 1x 75cl Dry, pet nat, unfiltered, unpasteurised, wild fermented, pure juice, natural cider Ingredients: Apples (Brown Snout) Handpicked from unsprayed  traditional standard orchards Orchard/s: Jury Pressed November 2023 No added sulphites Batch no: M2312       Batch size: 874x 75cl bottles FAQs

Does the cider have a use by date?

Unopened and stored in a cool, dry place our cider will be good to drink for around three years  As a general rule, like wine, cider has excellent capacity for ageing.

If the cider has been opened we recommend sealing with a champagne stopper and storing in the fridge for no more than 24 hours.

Is the cider vegan friendly?

Yes, our only ingredient is apples!

Is the cider organic?

We only use organically grown, unsprayed apples in our cider. Due to the number of orchards we care for belonging to other people we are not able to offically certify ourselves organic at this point in time.

Does the cider contain sulphites?

Our cider does not contain sulphites, however our perries contain a trace amount.

I'm local. Can I come and collect my order?
