Our 2021 vintage comprises 70% Cox apples; it’s our favourite variety. Perfectly expressive of a beautiful English apple: sweet, tangy, and bursting with flavour! There are supporting roles for other varieties including Russets (nutty sweetness) and Bramleys (to provide acidity), Falstaff, Gala and Spartan. All the individual components blended to create a harmonious symphony of taste.

The 2021 is vivacious, with a lively mousse and bubbles that linger for ages in your glass, bringing the cider to life. As ever, the sweetness is carefully balanced with the acidity to create a cider that is drier and more delicate than many ciders. It’s perfect served in a flute glass.

Peter Richards MW described Chalkdown cider as "..beautifully graceful and fine, almost balletic in its lightness and harmony. It's elegantly dry."

Chalkdown Cider has been awarded the prestigious International Cider Challenge Trophy for best bottle fermented/bottle conditioned cider for two years running - in 2017 and 2018. In 2019 it won the Gold Medal at the British Cider Championships
