Description
Davy produced his first cider using skills he learned while making wine with his father, Jim, many years before. Two years later, his Strawberry Cider won the Gold Award at the National Irish Food Awards.

Davy has picked up a National Award every year for each style he has presented. He has now upscaled and moved his cidery to the heartland of Armagh – the Orchard County.

It is here that Tempted Cider was born.

Bag in a box at County Hotel Ashford JDW. Clear gold slight haze. Some apple juice but some cider tannin as well which adds character. Not too sweet. I’ve had a lot worse. It’s an ok slightly characterful sweet cider.
