Today David Sheppy the incumbent Master of Cider, applies his unrivalled knowledge and expertise from a lifetime of cider making to turn our home-grown apples into some of the finest and award winning ciders.
Fifteen of our 90 acres of orchards we planted with tradition standard apple trees. Eight acres of these are certified organic. The remaining 75 acres contain bush trees planted at between 200 and 300 trees per acre, so about 19,000 trees in total at Sheppy's.

750ml @ Phill's. Appearance: clear golden. Aroma: lots of funk, barnyard, and tannins. Taste: along the same line, quite astringent and dry, almost no sweetness left. Overall: sold one.

Poured from bottle. Clear-ish pale orange with no head. Barnyard, horse blanket, apple, not enough depth, almost a little bit flat, but very nice flavours.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden, no head. Aroma is full of farmhouse funk, crisp apples, and a hint of dry toffee. Flavour is full of dry barnyard funk, horse blanket, and crisp apple skins. Very funky and horse blankety. Maybe not the best English cider out there, but the farmhouse character is really solid. How is this rated so low? People can't appreciate good cider on here apparently. This is great.

500ml bottle: BBE April 2024. Shared with my son Ben on 3rd July 2022. Farmyard aroma and a dirty apple taste, grew on me after the initial dislike.

Biab at the rising sun, Gunnislake. A clear yellow green coloured pour with no head. Aroma is crisp and tart, some white sugars, grape. Clean tart apple, light bark. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, white sugars, clean apple juice, tart tannin. Palate is semi sweet, light tart, mellow carbonation. Nice.
