Description
In 2004, Richard spent several weeks in France learning how to make Normandy cider with the local cider makers. Being a true enthusiast, he put his tutor on the case to find a Cider press. Eventually he had a call to confirm that a suitable press had been found in an old barn and Richard went over to dismantle it and bring it back to St Ouen. The press turned out to be a "turn of the century" piece of French history, languishing in a Normandy Farm. Thriving on a challenge, and being an engineer who loves old machinery, Richard restored the press and installed it in an out-building at our farmhouse in St Ouen. And so, in 2005, La Robeline Cider Company Ltd was born.

Bottle from Coop Grand Marché, St. Helier. Cloudy with a nice and full carbonation. The cider starts quite sweet. Not too deep, not much tartness. Very easy to drink, the sweetness of the ripe apples is there, but the deepness that the cask-version has is a bit missing. The aftertaste is smooth, sweetish, lots of fruity ripe apples, very easy to drink.
A very nice smooth session-cider!
