Matt Stephenson is a Sheffielder living in exile in North Somerset who, together with son-in-law Sean Beaton, got into cider making by accident, having set out originally to make wine. But they must have done something right because two blends from their first harvest in 2020 won gold in the 2022 prestigious Taste of the West awards and they have followed that up with two silvers in the 2023 awards. The name Wild West comes from the wild fermentation process, their base in the West Country - and it means they get to dress up as cowboys!

Here at Wild West Cider we strive to deliver unique and interesting flavours using the traditional methods of cider making. All our ciders use naturally occurring yeast to spur on the fermentation process producing a variety of delicious blends. Hand picked apples from local orchards is at the very essence of what we are believe in. Only the best make it through, which are then milled, pressed and left to do their thing in stainless steel tanks. With little to no intervention these blends are truly the real thing.
