Description
Worleys Cider had a humble start, when cider maker Neil Worley started experimenting with apple varieties and blends; fermenting them to dry using natural yeasts. After initially buying fresh juice, we began to find our own fruit in various small Somerset orchards and gradually started to master the mysterious arts of fruit selection and fermentation.

This attention to selecting the right fruit has always been important at Worleys. We don’t add flavourings to our ciders, yet each cider we make has distinct characteristics, determined by the apple blends we use.

As the business started to grow, we invested in a lot of our own equipment – buying a mill and press and storage units and increasing the size of our premises. We’ve added a pasteuriser and box-filler to the list since.

500ml bottle shared with Soph. Clear gold appearance. Aroma is fresh, floral, summery fruit. Taste continues along similar lines, some mild vanilla hints, fleeting butterscotch moments, whilst mostly caressing a balanced, clean, medium fruity character. Very soft tannin on the finish.
