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.

750ml corked bottle. Sparkling, orangey amber gold colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and mucky, apple aroma. Taste is tangy apple, fruity, with lots of leathery barnyard funk and drying tannins. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, very dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
