Having worked for a cider producer in Normandy, I realised that, whilst the UK has a long tradition of drinking cider, the craftsmanship of this industry had slowly faded.

With the knowledge that the best cider comes from great apples, I carefully selected our orchard's varieties and set out to create Novar's unique blend, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

In 2020, after years of study, we launched our product: a craft cider with dry, refreshing citrus notes, tannins that deepen its flavour and a light sparkle.

Our goal is to develop flavours in the orchard, not in the cidery. We use the cidery to preserve and enhance flavours that have fully matured over the harvest.
