Description
Cider has been made at Woodredding for at least 200 years. Up till 2007 apples were collected and taken to Westons’ Cider Mill two miles away, but in that year after a gap of fifty years we revived the tradition of cider making on the farm and got the 18th Century cider press back into action.

​The present cider orchard was planted in 1959 with the Ashton Brown Jersey, Bulmer’s Norman, Michelin, Vilberie and Lavigne varieties. More recently Yarlington Mill trees were planted and are now cropping well. We have also planted Herefordshire Redstreak and Somerset Redstreak as replacement trees in our old orchard.

Bottle from Scrattings. Clear gold, a few bubbles but dissipate quickly. Aroma of floral pear which then gives way to digestive biscuits and alcohol. Taste starts sweet floral noted pear juice then slight funk and old biscuits, alcohol hidden well. Medium body, slick, the gentlest of carbonation, almost still. Its a bit different, I like it.
