Wilding Cider Ditcheat Hill 2023

Medium Dry Sparkling Fine Cider

2023 marks quite a departure from previous years given the nature of the vintage - a cool and wet year which gave light tannins and low sugar levels. Ditcheat Hill is an orchard of exceptional terroir, overlooking the wide Brue valley. Wilding have been able to take this cider a good bit drier than usual to keep the ABV up, and rather than luscious and sweet this is medium dry and more delicate on the tongue with a little more sparkle. It lends itself perfectly to more savoury foods. 

Light fruit from red apple to lemons via stone fruit and strawberries. Nice elegant tannins on the tongue, some freshness from the acidity. Varieties: Browns, Yarlington Mill, Ashton Brown Jersey, Sweet Coppin, Harry Masters Jersey and Dove.  Alc 5.5% vol.  £53.00 GBP £99.00 GBP £18.00 GBP Add a gift/box?

Description

A new vintage of DH from a cool, wet year. This gave lower sugars than usual in the fruit, and so there is less 
residual sugar than usual. So this is drier than usual with a lovely fizz, and perhaps crosses over into 
celebration territory. Well balanced with lean acidity, a little tannic grip and fruity aromas, this is suited to 
drinking with roast chicken, summer cheese boards or grilled fish.
