Product description

Welsh Mountain Cider “Kingston Black” 2022 is a beautifully crafted, single-varietal cider made high in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales. Produced from 100% Kingston Black apples – one of the most prized cider apple varieties in Britain – this cider shows remarkable depth, structure and purity.

Welsh Mountain Cider is known for its traditional orchard farming, hand-harvesting and natural fermentation methods. The 2022 vintage captures the full character of the apple: dry, aromatic and wonderfully complex, with real winemaking finesse.

Aroma

Expressive and lifted, with notes of baked apple, quince and citrus peel, layered with subtle hints of floral blossom, spice and orchard earthiness.

Palate

Dry, elegant and full of flavour. The palate offers crisp apple, pear skin and gentle tannins, followed by touches of cider spice, orange zest and light minerality. Natural acidity provides freshness, while the finish is long, clean and beautifully structured — much closer to a fine wine than a typical cider.

A sophisticated, expressive cider for people who appreciate authenticity and craftsmanship.
