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.

Bottle. A clear, pale golden cider with some white bubbles on top. Sweetish apple aroma with some hints of apple cores. Itโs drier in the mouth than expected from the aroma, itโs not very tart, with a touch of apple cores and cold autumn grass. A nice cider indeed, but I think itโs a bit on the sweet side. Could easily drink more of it though, maybe with pork chops and sauerkraut. 120405

Bottle. An almost clear one, pale golden in color and with a little white head. Lightly earthy nose, with apples dominating. Lightly acidic hints. Refreshing in the mouth, quite tart and medium bodied. Apples, some earthy hints, apple cores and a citrusy touch in the flavor. A straight forward refreshing and tasteful cider Iโd like to have again. 120405
