Tasting notes
Rich in the apples’ own natural sugars this Kingston Black displays all of the classic characteristics of this vintage fruit; red apple skins, subtle tannins complementing earthy notes with a bright tangy finish.
Food pairing suggestions
Kingston Black cider pairs well with a variety of foods. We particularly enjoy it with roasted pork or blue cheese. Chill before opening. Drink now or by 2028. Live cider continues to evolve and develop with time.
The story behind the cider
This single variety Kingston Black is made from apples gathered by hand from the trees in two ninety year old neighbouring orchards in Herefordshire’s Golden Valley. Planted in 1934, these veteran trees produce yearly a small amount of fruit of the most exceptional quality. We’ve been working to restore each orchard since 2018 by pruning and replanting trees into the gaps that have inevitably appeared in the orchards’ long lives. We hope that these new trees will come to be loved by the cider makers of the future as much as we love the ones that we’ve inherited.

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 officially certify ourselves organic at this point in time.
