Our cider is made entirely from English cider apples and we believe producing high quality cider starts with having the finest fruit. We have our own 4 acre orchard where we grow classic cider apple varieties such as Dabinett, Browns, Stoke Red, Yarlington Mill, Tremlett’s Bitter as well as many others. We do not use any chemical sprays on our trees or artificial fertilisers.
The apples are crushed and processed using our 100 year old cider press. We then allow the juice to ferment slowly over the winter within its own natural yeasts. The cider is then matured within our oak barrels before it is ready to sell. All of this gives our award winning cider a traditional and distinctive flavour.

Bottle from Scrattings. Cloudy gold with a few bubbles on top. Musky, woody, apple juice aroma. Taste is leathery-dry, apple juice, wood, musk. Smooth medium body although has enough lightness to counter the dryness, no carbonation. Its ok.
