Eastern counties style cider using dessert apples from Oakington & local wildlife orchards. Fresh, fruity, zingy.
Varieties: Worcester Pearmain, Discovery Russet, & Bramley.
This cider reached maturity at the same time we heard the cuckoo call for the first time in years. In May, I sing night and day…the cider is ready when the cuckoo sings.
Whole juice. Wild ferment. GF & vegan. 2023 harvest. Medium sweet cider. 500ml. 5.5%.
