Willie Smith Somerset Red Streak

Willie Smith says...

It’s been half a decade since we’ve had enough of these heritage cider apples to craft a single varietal release, but this year the crop was abundant so we’re very happy to see this cider return in 2022. Hailing from Sutton Montis in Somerset, this variety has a rich history but was almost forgotten, so we’re bringing back the glory days. A rich amber colour with clarity and a fine bead. Delightful aromatics with hints of fresh apple, toffee and caramel. A sweet and weighted palate gives flavours of strawberry jam and candy apple with a strong tannic complexity providing a dry refreshing finish. Perfect in a picnic paired with cheese, charcuterie meats and fresh fruit.
