Dani Davies has previously described Kingston Black to us as being the ‘Rolls-Royce of cider apples’. This is apparently due to the variety’s pitch-perfect balance between tannin and acidity, which shows through in this cider in spades and is matched by a medium sweetness and the kind of character that only comes from the 80-year old trees the fruit comes from.

The Davies brothers, Adam and Dani, are making some of Europe’s most exciting cider from their small shed in Powys’ Teme Valley. Their orchards are managed organically and those apples are processed without modern trickery, using ambient yeasts, to produce refreshing ciders packed with finesse that stand as anathema to the syrupy industrial swill which pervades.
