Description
Our farm was established in 1855 in the townland of Ardress. Our cider takes its name from our Cider Maker, Greg Mac Neice’s grandmother Annie Mac Ivor. Annie, her husband Matt Mac Neice and their nine children had a passion for apple growing. Her son Sam and her grandson Greg continue that tradition, farming over 100 acres of prime Armagh orchard, packing and processing the apples grown and now making great craft cider too!

Bottle at Mum and Dads, picked up from Tesco Newry, 25/01/23. Clear golden with a good sized white covering that stays around the edge. Nose is bitter sweet apple, grains, hedgerow, modest sugars. Taste comprises apple pulp, straw, light sugars, hint of caramel, touch vinous. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Pleasant enough drop ... didn't come over particularly dry to me.
