Nothing sums up the colours, smells and taste of a perfect English autumn better than English apples and English cider. So Gaymer’s Orchard Reserve, a premium range of vintage single orchard ciders, is welcome.
Orchard Reserve Newton’s Vale is made of four English apple varieties harvested and pressed. The rich, autumnal red apple flavours are complemented by hints of fleshy peach and apricot.
Orchard Reserve Stewley’s round, mellow, rich apple fruit flavours make it an ideal accompaniment to traditional dishes such as roasts and casseroles, as well as with aged Cheddar or soft creamy cheeses.
The Orchard Reserve range is available in selected Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco and independent stores at £2.49 for a 75cl bottle.
For some people Heaven is a place filled with bottles of red wine and boxes of chocolates. And if you could combine the two you’d get Rubis.
Rubis is a chocolate-infused red wine, whose balance of chocolate aroma with classic fruity tones means it can be enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or on any special occasion.
It is available in Somerfield, Tesco and Asda and some independent stores at £5.99 for a 50cl bottle.
