Taking advantage of the harvest internship which Burum’s co-founder, Helen Anne Smith, spent with us in 2021, we decided to make some ciders together. In documenting the process, in words, images and video, the Burum team have created a fascinating addition to their educational programmes. We hope that the two ciders we have crafted will be a worthy complement.

Sleepless in Bromyard 2021, a sparkling cider, is the second of the pair, the flip side of the juice coin! Pure Dabinett, on the nose it’s all plum skin and frangipane before sliding into a pool of super sweet, juicy, ripe peaches and oranges. There’s the sweet spice of cloves, lovely soft tannins and a hint of bitterness at the finish reminding you that this is a cider made from bittersweet apples. It’s also completely crushable!
