Oliver's Cider & Perry - Cheddar On My Mind (750 mL)

About this gift

Oliver's Cider & Perry's Cheddar on my Mind (Batch 3) is a succulent, juicy cider with noes of orange citrus. Made from a blend of some of the finest English cider apple varieties including large amounts of Yarlington Mill, a dash of tangy Foxwhelp, and blended with barrel aged Michelin & Bisquet ciders for extra depth.

Tasting Notes: This cider drinks slightly off-dry, with medium-plus acidity, and softer medium-minus tannins. Nearly still, just the softest bit of bubble. Flavor notes of apple skin, bittersweet juice, lemon & lime, light lees, and a rhubarb like sharpness. Paired with a fine farmhouse cheddar, the sharpness mellows and the citrus sings with a lovely lemon-lime note.

Great on it's own, but definitely worth pairing with farmhouse cheeses! Scrumpy as a cider-style is often misunderstood and while we've only enjoyed a few farmhouse Scrumpy in our time in Herefordshire, this cider reminds me of the ones I loved most.

Cheddar on my Mind is a blend made in collaboration with Cellarman Sam & Tom Oliver. Cellarman is a storyteller and content producer with a focus on highlighting the work of farm based craft producers in the UK, through film and through podcasts.
