This is a blend of traditional Devon apple varieties from Rewe orchard in Huxham, saved and cared for by the Carter family almost a hundred years ago when acres of the orchards around it were torn out. A year long primary fermentation was followed by a year long secondary fermentation & maturation with champagne yeast in the bottle. The result is an elegant & unique sparkling cider dominated by wet-stone minerality.
Polly Hilton set up Find & Foster to revive neglected traditional apple orchards in Devon, helping preserve wildlife & biodiversity, and to protect old local apple varieties from extinction. Her ciders are a true expression of these unique varietals and the terroir in these orchards.

750m wired cork bottle from Scrattings. Opened with a pop. Sparkling, golden colour, fizzy white foamy head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of funky fruity apple with hint of caramel. Taste is tart, tangy, funky, horseblanket, orchardy apple, leathery, with alittle caramel and drying tannins. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tannic finish. Very ddrinkable.
