Our River Cottage Yarlington Mill cider is a homage to the magnificent Yarlington Mill apple which combines fruit bowl flavours, zesty acidity and pleasing light tannins in a single apple. The resulting cider is medium sweet with a rich fruity taste, raisin notes and a dry finish. You might pick up bubble gum, fruit basket and blossom notes on the nose.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is a multi-award-winning writer and broadcaster known for his uncompromising commitment to seasonal, ethically produced food and his concern for the environment. His River Cottage series of cook books and TV series were inspired by his Dorset smallholding adventures. In perfecting the recipe for this cider, the Newton Court Cider Team ventured to River Cottage HQ. Hugh and team visited Newton Court Farm, spending time in the orchards and learning how cider is made.
River Cottage Yarlington Mill matches perfectly with pork pies and goats cheese tart.
