Newton Court Farm, Newton, Leominster, HR6 0PF, England
Description
Paul Stephens started Newton Court Cidery back in 2000. His mum and dad still come over most days to help out with the lambing and whatever else needs fixing...
Newton Court Cider is part of an 157 acre certified organic farm with 30 acres of cider apple and perry pear orchards. We are proud to make award winning ciders and Perries using fruit from our own orchards or from friends in Herefordshire. We pick, press, ferment and bottle everything ourselves.
For us, craft cider means cider that's pressed at our farm by a master cider maker named Paul (and a few of his local friends). It means making cider out of proper apples. It means a cidery surrounded by orchards, not industrial equipment. It means people covered in mud and apple peels, not people in suits. Buying craft cider supports local business, the heritage and the countryside (find out more about on our environment page). But most of all, craft cider tastes much, much better.

Bag in a box at Reading BF 2010. Hazy silver gold. Cheesy perry aorma. Rather a good perry in the mouth, a little basic, but some tannin and dryness on finish. Tannin builds on finish. Tasty.

Plastic cask at GBBF 08. Perry aroma, slightly cheesy. Hazy gold with hint of green. Not hugely dry, some fruit sweetness. Stewed pears flavour and very drinkable. That’s good. Lovely fruit flavour.
