Description

Gospel Green Brut Cyder, produced in Hampshire, is a groundbreaking dry cider made using the traditional Champagne method. This luxurious cider balances sweetness perfectly, with pure and fresh apple flavours enhanced by a double fermentation process. Cider connoisseurs will adore its complexity and sophistication.

History and Winemaking

Gospel Green began making ciders in 1990 when James Lane returned from working in Épernay, France. Inspired by Champagne, he set out to create England’s finest traditional method cider. This cider undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating a natural fizz. For the past 30 years, Blackmoor Estate’s apples have been used to produce this fine cider. Gospel Green is now part of the Blackmoor Estate family, continuing to use the original recipe.

The cyder house is less than a mile away from the orchards where eating and culinary apples are hand-picked, ensuring supreme quality and taste. The traditional method, known as the ‘double fermentation,’ adds complexity and depth to the cider, making it a perfect alternative to Champagne, Prosecco, and other sparkling wines.

Tasting Notes

Gospel Green Brut Cyder features a bright and super-dry zing. It is perfect to serve in place of a top sparkling wine or to pair with a cheeseboard for a real treat. The fresh apple flavour, combined with the secondary fermentation, results in a cider that is both luxurious and refreshing.

Food Pairings

This cider pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods. It is ideal as an aperitif or with light dishes, seafood, and, particularly, a cheeseboard. Its bright acidity and dry finish complement the richness of cheeses and the delicacy of seafood.

Gospel Green Brut Cyder is a testament to the innovative approach of its producers. It offers a unique and sophisticated alternative to traditional sparkling wines, with the added complexity of pure apple flavours. Enjoy this cider on its own or with your favourite dishes to appreciate its depth and elegance.
