Showerings Triple Vintage is a launch that's described as a "new category-defining luxury cider" and it has been created with the same care and level of attention as a fine wine. This luxe cider takes the form of a light and fresh 2021 vintage blended with 2017 and 2018 vintages, which were slowly fermented to create depth of flavor.
The elegantly dry and gently carbonated cider sits and settles for a minimum of four months so that it can mature and the sharper notes have time to mellow. This cider was made possible with a cool fermentation process that uses wild and house yeasts to turn natural sugars into alcohol.
According to founder Nick Showering, "The ambition for Showerings Triple Vintage is simple—to change the perception of cider drinking and give it a long-overdue and deserved place at any Michelin-starred table."
