Description
The Hecks family have been making traditional farmhouse cider in Somerset for six generations, since 1841.
In 1896, we started to sell our cider from our farm shop in Street.
We make our cider by blending juice from apples all grown locally in the farm’s orchards. The cider is fermented in wooden barrels and sold draught from the wood.

Hazy med amber golden color. Mildly spicy nose if nutmeg and cinnamon and raisins. Unbelievable sweet and tart mouth showing cinnamon, brandy, stewed apples. Great balance of acidity. Puckering dry finish. Stewed apples and cinnamon just linger despite the dryness at the end. Wow. This is the type of English cider I’ve been looking for.

Cask @ The Castle Inn, West Lulworth - The permanent Dorset Cider Festival. Unclear, dark orange body with practically no head. Aroma has apple cores and wood. Flavor is medium sweet apple, quite strong apple core/ripe apple, wood and a bit earthy. Nothing here that reminds me about port wine, but it has a pleasant robust and smooth flavor at the same time. Interesting twist.

Cask @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 09.10.2010
Aroma is slightly sour with apples, some earthy and leathery notes and hints of fruit sugar. Flavour is slightly sour with green apples, leathery notes and some fruit sugar. Finishes acidic. My first real cider, nice but could be even more sour.
