I bought this because I tasted it at the the Christmas Tasting at Bottle Apostle in Hackney, and really liked it. It's inexpensive (£8), with a pretty hideous label to match; I'd expect it would sell more with a good label at £10 than with this one at £8. The juice itself is a lot more convincing. There's fresh, sweet strawberry jam, raspberries, and a slight tang sour dried cherry on the nose, as well as summery red rose and even hints of something dark and tarry. That tangy, slightly sweet dried cherry fruit is what dominates the palate, delivering a snappy, refreshing mouthful. It's a charmer.
