Description
Cider done right. That means delicious West Country cider made from fresh apple juice, using the best locally-sourced apples. Founded in 2002, we are independent, family-owned and very proud to be based in the oldest working cider mill in the UK, breathing life back into the old building. Our home in the heart of Devon is the perfect micro-climate to grow cider apples and we are blessed with some of the finest bittersweet apple orchards in the world. We press and ferment whole juice from the finest locally sourced fruit, never from concentrate. No artificial flavours or aromas, simply the best natural ingredients, and then let it age to perfection. No shortcuts. The result? Delicious, beautifully balanced and naturally refreshing cider.

Bottle@Littlepub, Vaasa. Golden colour with a minor white quickly disappearing head. Aroma is nice apples, some citrus and a bit minerals to it . Flavour is tartish green apple skins, some sweeter apples as well as some mild wooden and mineral to it. Nicely dry palate. Makes it nice to drink, almost too quaffable.

Rolling a little faster at this little cider tasting hosted by Shig's friend Jamie. Clear, pale gold, crispy & active. Sharp fruit, clean veg & oak nose. Earthy, minty, less tannic than the other vintage. Fresh brutal oak, a touch of butter, brightness on the finish. Pretty good.
