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.

Tap @ Knight Life, Poole. Small head with short duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet red apples, fruits, little acid and little sugar. Nice.

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.

500ml bottle from Tesco - pale gold body, no head. Expected apple nose, not as artificial as other low alcohol ciders, sharp taste, good dry and clean.
