About
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.

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo, 11/06/22. Pale golden yellow with little in the way of a covering. Nose is apple pulp, straw, light funk, grains, bitter sweet orchard esters. Taste comprises tarte apple, orchard wood, tannins, straw, floral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, big drying close. Not bad, quite tarte and on the dry side.

Sample, many thanks to danlo. Cheers mate. Pours a misty golden yellow. Aroma of cat piss, white grape. First sip presents an immediate tangy zing, super tart, sweet, with sugary sweet shop apple laces. Fine spritz with a racy acidity. Interesting.
