Taste of the Week. Ballymaloe Cider.

Ballymaloe Cider 2020, 5.2%, available at Ballymaloe

Did you know that cider is made in Ballymaloe? It's a beauty, delicious and refreshing with unique flavours,  and our Taste of the Week.  I got mine recently at the Saturday afternoon pop-up wine shop at the Grainstore in Ballymaloe; opens at 2.00pm. Lots of wine of course and also the Ballymaloe Garden Gin.

They make the cider with apples grown on the farm, including Dabinett, Crimson Bromley, Santana, Topas, Delles Bell and Dellinquo. Other old varieties are grown across the farm, in the walled garden, and beside the aptly named Orchard Cottage. This is an unusual blend of apples that gives the cider its rich and refreshing flavour.
