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.

Bottle. Yellowish golden colour, tiny white head. Aroma is apple, some mild wooden and a bit funky and yeasty tones to it. Flavour is kind of funky, a bit spicy, some green apples and sweeter apples as well as some dry wooden elements. Interesting.

clear 500ml bottle from their own place in Street. Drank at home on 7th June 2024. Lovely cider, really enjoyed it. Semi-fizzy body feel, apples and a pleasant homely overtone.
