Description
Through more than 200 years of making real premium craft cider, six generations of the Sheppy family have weathered the ups and downs of combining farming with cider-making by embracing change and opportunity.
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.

9/3/2023. Tap at Knight Life Taphouse, Poole. Pours clear pale gold with a minimally bubbly head. Aroma of sweet apple, caramel, apple pie, sugars. Quite heavy sweetness, light tangy tartness. Moderate body, oily, low carbonation. Dry slightly vinegary finish. Not bad.

Reddish brown hued thin still clear body. Raspberry aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & sticky. Raspberry, earthy, sweet & rather sickly - for a cider I would not think is very refreshing on a hot summer's day.
