Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry - Ellis Bitter & Foxwhelp

Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry - Ellis Bitter & Foxwhelp
Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry's Ellis Bitter & Foxwhelp is a dual-variety cider featuring a blend of two classic, beloved English cider apple varieties. Bone dry, slightly intense ,and with bold tannins. We thoroughly enjoyed this cider.
Tasting Notes: Aromatics of apple skin, hay, slight smoke, petrichor, and a hint of pastry dough. This cider is bone dry with high tannins and medium-plus to high acidity. Flavor notes of apple skin, candy peach, lemon marange, bitter citrus peel/pith, grass, minerality, smoke. Subtle woody barrel notes play a nice supporting role. Tannins and phenolics linger a bit on the finish.

About Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry: named after the small town in Herefordshire in which they're located, Ross-on-Wye has been growing apples & pears since their family moved to their farm in 1930. The county of Herefordshire is located about 3 hours west of London, is one of the most rural areas of the UK, and is home to most of the cider & perry fruit grown in England. The Johnson family makes a range of single-variety cider & perry products each year as well as several fine blends, mostly with fruit grown on one if their own orchards. The cidermaking process is pure and simple, using only whole juice, and allowing natural fermentation. A trip to their pub & cider barn at the Yew Tree Inn should be near the top of any cider enthusiast's bucket list, where one can taste from more than 60 small batch cider offerings between their single-varietals, blends, and multiple vintages of cider & perry.
