Chartist Cyder Oak-Conditioned Med Dry 6.5%

Chartist Cyder is a medium dry strong cyder aged in American white oak Rioja barrels. It has oaky vanillin notes with hints of dark berries from the red wine and a spicy finish. As a cyder aged in the traditional way using oak barrels I thought a significant moment in local history would be a fitting name for the cyder. In 1839 10,000 Chartists led by John Frost marched passed the top of our street on their way to Newport to liberate fellow Chartist imprisoned at Westgate Hotel.The Newport Rising was the last large-scale armed rebellion against authority in Great Britain, and one of the largest civil massacres committed by the British government in the 19th century.
