GWYNT Y DDRAIG CIDER Dabinett - 500ml

Product Details

Made from a single variety of cider apple, Dabinett is a full bittersweet apple found in large quantities throughout many Welsh orchards. This apple produces a well-balanced bittersweet cider with a soft astringency and full body. A connoisseur's cider that lends itself to the "New Age" cider drinker.

'Dabinett' is an apple cultivar, customarily used in Somerset for making cider. 'Dabinett' probably dates from the early 1900s, when it was found by William Dabinett growing as a wilding (a natural seedling) in a hedge at Middle Lambrook, South Petherton, Somerset. The exact genetic makeup of Dabinett is unknown, though one 'parent' was probably the Chisel Jersey apple, a similar late "bittersweet" variety. The variety became very popular and was widely planted across the south-west of England.
