Description
Welsh Mountain Cider is a family run Ciderworks, apple and pear orchard, tree nursery and smallholding in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid-Wales, UK.

Chava and Bill have worked together for the last 12 years turning a 1115 feet high, six acre plot into Britain's highest altitude Ciderworks, fruit tree nursery and museum orchard. In this time Chava and Bill have planted trees, grafted and sent out hundreds of acres of new orchards, made thousands of litres of amazing cider, grown food, made music and art and brought two delightful girls into the world.

Our cider is made from carefully selected varieties of sweet, bittersweet and sharp apples, which are pressed and allowed to naturally ferment slowly over the winter with their own natural yeasts.

The cider is left to mature for between 6 months and two years, and is then bottled unfiltered and unpasteurized, and without added sulphites.

We cellar age our live cider in the bottle for anywhere between 6 months and 10 years where it continues to mature in the bottle, producing a complex bouquet and rich flavours you would expect from a truly great expression of our native wine.
