What makes us so different? How we do it!
​
Once upon a time the Fowey valley was bedecked with blossom. The Victorians would take special boat trips just to marvel at the blooming. Today Fowey Valley are one the few orchards left. We keep busy upholding the tradition of cidermaking in the valley and producing award winning spirits. All our ciders are made solely from fresh West Country apples and our spirits are all created from scratch- none of the usual industrial alcohol.

Pale golden with a fast collapsing head of white bubbles. Nose is bitter sweet apple, grains, straw. Taste comprises tangy apple, residual sugars, light funk, grass, glazed apples. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, bittersweet drying close. Not bad.

Sparkling Vintage Cider Brut from Fowey Valley

75cl bottle from Scrattings. Pours pale gold with a light mist, small remaining white ring atop. Subdued sweet apple fruit on the nose, a touch rubbery. Fine, spritzy carbonation. Taste is sweet apple fruit, tart gooseberry with a measured acidity. Its unusually high strength brings a little weight and sharpness to the fruit, perhaps more in line with a dry champagne than cider. Still, pretty good.
