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 - pale golden and green. Gentle bubbles. Nose - pears and for some reason I’m getting rose water. Taste - more of the same with the pear being dominant. Palate - light bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - didn’t like the appearance of the bottle much, but it was good.
