Dabinett Cider Juice

The Somerset Classic, Pressed and Ready

Dabinett is one of the most dependable and widely grown cider apple varieties in the UK, and its juice delivers exactly what you'd expect from a great Somerset bittersweet. Rich in tannin, low in acidity, and reliably high in sugar, it ferments into a smooth, full-bodied cider with that classic mellow warmth that defines the best of the English tradition. It integrates beautifully in a blend and holds its own as a single varietal — consistent, characterful, and deeply satisfying.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the variety at its peak. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or hold it until your next batch is ready.
