Description
Diggers Fine Cider is the brainchild of Digby Legge. Based on a smallholding in Perthshire, and working closely with the folks at the nearby Guardswell farm, Digby has been making cider for a couple of years as a hobby, but in 2020 produced enough to sell commercially by bringing in hand-picked apples from across Perthshire. Diggers Fine Cider is all about local apples, wild yeasts, minimal intervention and letting time do its thing.
