The Henry family runs an orchard and cidery nestled under Mount Alexander at Harcourt,  just over an hour North of Melbourne. They specialise in making "Real Ciders & Perry" utilising the best local fruit and traditional cidermaking methods. Fruit varieties include: Pink Lady, Kingston Black, Yarlington Mill, Beurre Bosc, Somerset Redstreak , Tremlett's Bitter.

TASTING NOTES

Poured pale yellow with a slight haze. Aroma was of fresh, sweet green apples with a light acidity, grapes and some light pear notes. Flavour was of dry green apples with a good pear-like tartness, wine yeast and crisp grape skins in the finish. Very well balanced with a well hidden alcohol content – dangerously drinkable. Medium bodied with soft carbonation a dry tart mouthfeel and a good finish. Great cider.
