Dabinett
Dabinett is a traditional English cider apple variety, known for its bittersweet flavor profile and high tannin content. It is widely used in the production of cider in the United Kingdom, particularly in the counties of Somerset and Herefordshire.
History[edit | edit source]
The Dabinett apple variety was discovered as a chance seedling by William Dabinett in the early 19th century in Somerset, England. It has since become one of the most popular cider apple varieties in the region, prized for its unique flavor and high juice yield.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Dabinett apples are small to medium in size, with a round shape and a green to yellow skin that often has a red blush or streaks. The flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy, with a bittersweet flavor that is ideal for cider production.
The trees are vigorous and have a spreading growth habit. They are also known for their disease resistance, particularly to apple scab and mildew. Dabinett trees are partially self-fertile, but they benefit from cross-pollination with other cider apple varieties.
Cider Production[edit | edit source]
Dabinett apples are primarily used in the production of cider. They are classified as a bittersweet variety, which means they have high levels of tannins and sugars. This results in a full-bodied, complex cider with a balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
In addition to being used as a single-varietal cider, Dabinett apples are often blended with other cider apple varieties to add depth and complexity to the final product.
