Sandringham Apple Juice - Discovery
Made from the finest single variety apples pressed and bottled on the Sandringham Estate 🍎🍏
The Discovery Apple is an early season dessert apple. One of its parents Worcester Pearmain, with the pollinator thought to possibly be Beauty of Bath. The fruits are typically similar in appearance to its parent 'Worcester Pearmain', being small-medium in size, with small patches of yellow and largely flushed with crimson, sometimes completely covering the fruit, but tend to be slightly flatter. The flesh (and juice) of some fruit may be pinkish. The tree is a mid-season flowering variety; as with the supposed pollinator 'Beauty of Bath', the fruits mature quickly, by August. Unlike many early apples, the fruits remain on the tree long enough to ensure ripening. The juice is a good early season first taste of Autumn.
Tasting Notes:
Crisp and refreshing with a delicate sweetness, immediately evocative of the orchard. A harmonious balance of subtle acidity and fruit-forward flavours, featuring hints of red berries and watermelon. A clean, lightly tangy finish with a lingering sweetness that feels natural and refreshing.
Sweetness chart: 3.5
Discovery apple juice is celebrated for its bright, fruity profile and distinctive pink hue, making it a delightful drink for any occasion. It pairs wonderfully with light breakfasts, desserts, or simply enjoyed as a standalone treat.
About the brand
The Sandringham Estate spans approximately 20,000 acres, much of which is farmland.
During World War II, an additional 500 acres were ploughed to support the war effort under King George VI. It was King George who first planted apple trees at Sandringham, and the royal family's commitment to the farm has continued ever since.
The orchards were established in 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, and have remained unchanged since then. In addition to filling the royal fruit bowl, the apples are used to produce Sandringham Apple Juice, which can be found on supermarket shelves.
Today, around 140,000 bottles of Sandringham Apple Juice are produced and distributed annually, including to royal garden parties at Buckingham Palace and Holyrood Palace in Scotland, as well as to the farm shops at Windsor and the Spaghetti House restaurants in London.
