Small batch. One-time only.
Once it's gone, it's gone.
From Orchard to Bottle
Kingston Black is revered as the king of cider apples for good reason. One of the rare varieties that delivers exceptional balance of tannin, acidity, and flavour entirely on its own.
After years of patient cultivation, our trees on the family orchard in Spreyton finally delivered fruit worthy of something different. That cider then spent six months resting in seasoned ex-whisky barrels from Hellyers Road Distillery, home of some of Tasmania's oldest whisky.
Finished in traditional champagne bottles using the Normandy bottle conditioning method. Naturally sparkling. Richly textured. Built to be savoured.

The character of this release
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Layers of baked apple, warm spice, vanilla, and toasted oak with delicate floral undertones.
Flavour
Rich apple character evolves into caramel, toffee, and subtle whisky warmth, supported by a distinctive tannic backbone and bright acidity.
Texture
Fine, persistent natural bubbles from bottle conditioning give a luxurious, crisp body and a long, satisfying finish.
Colour
Deep golden-amber with ruby hints from the apple’s signature dark red skin.
Five generations in the making, cool Tasmanian climate and our orchard soils bring out the variety’s natural aromatics and elegant balance, now elevated by barrel and bottle.
