In the autumn over forty varieties of vintage cider apples such as Dabinett, Kingston Black, Stoke Red, Yarlington Mill and Harry Masters are harvested.
By the spring our pure juice traditional cider is ready to drink. To the best of our knowledge Burrow Hill Cider is the only cider to have won the annual national cider championships in Devon, Somerset and Hereford in the same year. As well as traditional farmhouse cider we make bottle-fermented ciders, a perry and an ice cider.

Bottle, 75cl. An almost clear one, pale golden in color, with some bubbles. The aroma is quite sweetish with apples. Some orchard notes. Dry on the palate, quite carbonated and thin. Apples in the flavor, with some acidity. A rather boring one, but not unpleasant. 130216
