Zeffer Slack ma Girdle (750ml Bottle)

Description

’Slack ma Girlde’ is just one of the many quirky names of a true English cider apple. Along with Kingston Black, Foxwhelp and Yarlington Mill it makes up one of over 50 varieties used to make this cider. Those speialised apples are sourced from a small family run orchard in Canterbury. Nearly inedible on the tree, the rich tannins and sharp flavour are transformed in the bottle. Brewed at the Zeffer cidery in Matakana, it’s a kiwi take on the famous English Wes Country style- a golden colour, full flavour and deliciously dry finish. We hope you enjoy!

Cider

Made from fermented apple juice, cider comes in a number of varieties. English cider is dry, with fruity, tannic qualities and low carbonation. This can be found cask-conditioned in England. Normandy is another major cider-producing region, with a sweeter, more effervescent, very complex style. Ciders produced elsewhere are often sweet, simple beverages for mass consumption, though there are some good English-style ciders in North America and Norman-style ciders in Quebec.
