Orchard Vintage cider, a collaboration with River Cottage, is made from organic fruit found in our oldest orchards. The variety of apples brings tannin, tartness, aromatics, sparkle and sweetness which, when blended together, give this effervescent medium cider perfect balance and great depth of flavour.
Its taste is medium, lingering ripe apples, full body, subtly woody with some floral notes and a tannic dry finish. On the nose you’ll detect autumn leaves, ripe apples, wood smoke, and honeysuckle.

500ml bottle from Cat in the Glass. Sparkling, golden colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates to a thin layer and aroma of apple ripe fruity, with meaty funk, earthy. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, juicy, with orchardy funk, leather, earthy and bittersweet tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium-dry funky tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
