Sandringham Apple Juice - Egremont Russet
Made from the finest single variety apples pressed and bottled on the Sandringham Estate 🍎🍏
The most well-known of the russet apples, the Egremont Russet almost defines the characteristics of this type of apple tree. Dense rather than crisp flesh with dull, rough skin, this variety has a very developed nutty flavour which many find irresistible. Dating back to 1872, it has surprising disease resistance even for a Victorian apple tree. Another unusual feature for an old variety is that it is partially self-fertile. The juice keeps that nutty flavour and a sweet aroma.
Tasting Notes:
Complex and full-bodied, with a natural sweetness balanced by a mild, tangy acidity. Layers of flavour unfold, revealing hints of caramel, hazelnut, and spice, giving it a unique depth.
A smooth, lingering finish with a subtle nuttiness and a refreshing tartness.
Sweetness chart: 5
Egremont Russet apple juice is loved for its rich, nuanced character and luxurious flavour profile. Ideal as a standalone drink or paired with mature cheeses, hearty bread, or spiced dishes. A true favourite for those seeking a sophisticated and distinctive apple juice experience.
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.
