Description
As one of the UK’s largest self-sustaining single estate cider producers we are proud of our genuine heritage, provenance, traceability and sustainability.

Our 200 acres of luscious orchards have been farmed for over 8 generations. Chosen for growth and taste profiles, eight cider apple varieties are grown.

With full control from ‘Pip to Pint’, we grow, pick and press on site; blending with precision to create our international award-winning ciders. Our production cycle is completed within 5 miles of our farm. Waste pomace is used to produce green energy and supply us with CO2 to create our sparkling ciders and we package our drinks at our sister company, Marches Bottling & Packaging in Bromyard.

14/8/2021. From BIAB at the 24th Festival of Beer and Brewing at the Museum of East Anglian Life, Stowmarket. Pours clear pale gold with a bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet apple, pomegranate, flowers, rose water, love heart sweets. Medium plus sweetness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, low carbonation. Sweet finish. Not a big fan of this.

Sample @ obscure lager tasting with Jeremy. Thanks Graham for this. Clear pale yellow. High carb, not too much flavour, very thin some distant syrupy fruit but generally relies on the spritz to do most of the talking.
