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.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with steady carbonation and a very thin head. Nose - sweet but tangy apple. Apple skins, wood. Taste - dry and sour, mostly apple skins this time. Palate - light bodied but intense, tangy and dry through the remainder of the palate. Overall - the dryness takes you by surprise but it grew.

Bag in a box from the Apple Tap, Grantham. Golden and clear. Sealing wax and light orchard fruit aroma. Taste is more appley: fruity and apple skin dry. Long drying finish. It has promise but I want more. Especially considering the ABV, I think more flavour and character are due.
