Domaine Scionwood

Old World Elegance, New World Orchard

Domaine is a refined French bittersharp cider apple with a quiet confidence about it. Not flashy, not aggressive — just deeply, consistently good. Originating from the Calvados cider regions of France, it produces a juice that is smooth, well-structured, and rich, with the kind of mellow tannins that make a cider feel complete rather than sharp or one-dimensional.

At The Orchard Point Prim, Domaine has earned its place as a reliable backbone variety — the apple that holds a blend together and gives it presence. Its moderate acidity keeps things balanced while its natural sweetness provides plenty of fermentable sugar for a satisfying, full-bodied result.

• Classification: Bittersharp
• Flavour profile: Soft red fruit, gentle tannin, floral notes, and a clean finish

If Kingston Black is the showstopper, Domaine is the steady hand that makes the whole performance work.
