About
Mates Cider Company was founded by Roger Hesten and Dave Harrison in 2010 following years of successful hand crafted cider making for pleasure. Mates Cider is based in Malmesbury, North Wiltshire on the southern edge of the Coltswolds. Ideally placed between the main traditional west country cider making areas of Hereford and Somerset. We hand pick a blend of genuine unsprayed west country cider apples and perry pears, then employ traditional techniques to press the juice. Finally we allow a lengthy maturation period in order to let the full flavours develop, resulting in our authentic delicious finished products.

500ml bottle from Orchard Box, August 2016. Golden colour, no head and aroma of apple, herby, hint of ginger. Taste is tart apple, funk, grass, herbal, dry tannins and slight metallic notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tannic finish. Interesting, quite OK.
