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.

Bottled bright from a bag in the box and enjoyed on the train home from Planet Thanet BF 2007. Cloudy green gold colour with no head. A bit of industrial pear juice on aroma. Touch of nail varnish. Touch of cabbage in mouth. Some pear juice. Little bit of sugar sweetness is more evident on the finish. Pleasing perry if a little more sweet than I prefer.

Bottle 16-11-06 picked up from Darts Farm, Topsham, near Exeter, Devon earlier in the week. Wonderful smooth gloriously fruity, abundance of pears and lovely sweetness, this was super.
