Cornish full juice, sparkling, wild fermented dry cider.
no added sulphites | 6.8% ABV
An orchard blend of Michelin, Yarlington Mill, Dabinett, Tale Sweet, Tommy Knight, Cats Head, and Tremlett’s Bitter.
Bright and lively, with yuzu-like citrus and sherbet notes, underpinned by a grippy slate minerality.
Great with salty, savoury dishes — especially oily fish, shellfish, quiche, risotto, or cheese (particularly sharp cheddar or goat’s cheese).
ABOUT RIPE
We’re a small husband-and-wife cidery based in South East Cornwall, producing low-intervention, natural cider from our own ecologically managed orchards.
Our ciders are designed with the table in mind: elegant, expressive, and best served in a wine glass alongside food. Each one is made from 100% Cornish apples, handpicked from unsprayed orchards, fermented with wild yeast, and aged naturally for over 16 months. We don’t add sulphites, preservatives, or any other additives.
