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.

Bottle. Sour/tart apple aroma. Golden yellow with moderate effervescence. Dry apple flavor with a touch of sweetness that comes out in the finish. A nice cider.

Bottle. A vinous pear cider aroma. Pale yellow color. Sweet pear flavor up front followed by a tart/sour finish. Nice sweetness level - not too much - and mixes well with the tartness.

[i] Polypin at Merton Summer Beer Festival September 2004, sticker staes 7.2% [/i] Poured golden but there was a slight haze, initially sweet but this was quickly followed by a sharpness, once yet settled down with this it was a very nice little cider strength never really comes across either too much.

Bottled bright from bag in the box at Planet Thanet BF 2007. Pale green gold colour. Some perry vinegar aroma. Medium sweet I guess. Sweetness in mouth stops some of the other flavours coming through. Medium sweet finish with some pear juice.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival, Oxfordshire, July 7th and 8th 2006. Very pale in colour almost white slightly cloudy. Sweeter than I was expecting but with a definate sharpness to it. Some pears present in the aroma and this really is dangerously drinkable, still not quite as good as the Dunkertons Breakwell Seedling and Med’ Dry but very nice indeed.
