Our first ever Wild Cider!

Dry, tannic, and of course wood-aged. This delightful cider is a true drink from the Somerset Terroir and we simply can't wait for you to try it!

As a Somerset brewery that brews and talks about the terroir all the time, we have been asked many times if or when we would make a cider. The uniqueness of 2020, a random conversation and a beautiful liquid led to this project!

This foudre-aged, blended, cider has spent 2 years ageing in new first-fill Seguin Moreaux oak; one foudre, full of Chisel Jersey the other, holding several Somerset varieties. Blended together they make a bold yet nuanced combination of flavours; tannic apple, oak and white grape with a moreish dry finish. Lightly sparkling and fully fermented out, it’s strength is well hidden.

75cl bottle SophiesBeerStore.co.uk. Misty gold with awild orchard nose. Interesting barrel nuances encompassing white wine, creamy aged cheese, almond, vanilla with crisp wild notes. Good dry cider character overall. More apple fruit would be welcome in further editions.
