Description
Established in 1994, we make real Herefordshire cider and perry using 100% juice of vintage varieties of apples and pears, harvested from traditional standard orchards. We have been granted Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) for all our products since 2003.
We make small batches of single variety and named varietal blends of cider and perry using wild yeast with natural, slow fermentations, matured in stainless steel tanks.

We’re proud to harness traditional methods with our ancient stone press, which dates from the 18th century. We work with nature to manage the orchards and create our products, with pomace (pressed fruit pulp) going to feed neighbouring Hereford cattle, and recycling wastewater.

From a plastic barrel at GBBF 08. Clear pale gold. Bit of cheese on aroma. Some tannin in there, rather good pear fruit. Bit of acidity. That’s alright actually, bit of tannin coats the gums. Fruit is quite syrupy and intense in fact.

[Barrel at GBBF 2005] A pale hazy yellow perry with no head. Both the aroma and the flavor are sweet perry combined with light notes of wood.
