Description
From the humble beginnings of our story in 2007, when Once Upon a Tree was born in the cold outbuildings at Dragon Orchard; we have evolved to multi award-winning craft drinks producer, BBC Radio 4 Food & Farming "Drinks Producer of the Year", Overall Champion Trophy at the International Cider & Perry Competition, and winner of the Bath & West Champion Perry Trophy.

We remain humble and true to our heritage and passion, which is to create the best quality cider from the highest quality fruit; whilst continuing to preserve the tradition of cider making in the area. Founder and wine maker Simon's appetite and knowledge to apply wine making principles to cider production has led to a profusion of creative and innovative products, from multi award winning Blenheim Superb ice cider, to grape skin co-ferments.

Box @ Stable Whitechapel. Pours a generally clear gold, bright golden apple fruit on the nose. Fleshy apple fruit to taste, crisp sour edge with a gentle yet confident acidity, nice tannin presence. Good stuff.

375ml bottle, 2011 vintage. Bottle sourced from Gloucester Servives on the M5. Pours clear honey golden with a slim white head. Aroma: sweet with ripe pears, stewed apples & caramel. Taste: medium to heavy sweet, sweet apple & pear, honey, toffee, cinnamon hints. Medium bodied with light carbonation. An interesting beverage, and bloody tasty (and dangerous).

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear yellow with a fluffy, pure white head. Quite dry, a little musty, dried perry, touches of grass and pale bread. Medium bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Dry finish, lightly warming. Not bad.
