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.

330ml panda from LCB. Pours a mostly clear gold with no head, still. Aroma of apple peel, strong cinnamon, orange peel. Taste is the same - sweet, fruity, cinnamon provides a lovely balance. Medium bodied, slick. I'm aware this isn't showcasing the apple, although it is there, but as a tasty refreshing light Christmas spiced cider this is great.
