In 2014 we grafted a row of Spanish varieties, managing to lose the list identifying them in the process. Nevertheless, this is their first crop, and we are delighted. In homage to the principles of Sidra Natural but inspired by Herefordshire principles, we primed this cider with freeze concentrated juice…

£8.95In October 2020 we experimented by pressing three barrels of Ashton Bitter each co-fermented with a different sharp apple variety. This trio showcases the importance of apple choices; how even an apple as powerful and astringent as Ashton Bitter will perform different dances with different partners. Each bottle is similar…

£3.95A variety grown and used for perry making in the Three Counties region of Britain as early as 1662. Barland pear trees are tall, thin and vigorous, producing a heavy crop many years, and seem to be a remarkably healthy tree to have endured all this time. The perry of…

A native Herefordshire pear, identified by the legendary Herbert Durham during the 1920s. In 2022, we saw one of the sunniest and hottest summers of recent memory and that has boosted the natural sugar in the pear, giving us around 1% extra alcohol than normal! The flavour is lightly acidic…

For more than 100 years, British orchardists have been growing this French variety of apple, which we knew as ‘Michelin.’ But now the truth is out! DNA fingerprinting reveals that this apple is in fact the variety ‘Bisquet!’ And ‘Michelin’ is a different, distinct variety. How curious! This apple is…

In 2014 we grafted a row of Brown Snout & Chisel Jersey trees; two historic bittersweet varieties full of character. Their first crop, in 2019, was fermented in an oak cask, and produced a powerful, chocolatey, delicious cider. But all that tannin needs time; so we let it rest until…

Brown Snout is a beloved Herefordshire bittersweet variety, but the orchard we used to buy apples from was grubbed up in 2017. Since then we have searched for a new supply fruitlessly! Finally in 2020, thanks to a tip-off from Pat of Jolter Press, eight of us spent a drizzly…

C.L.F aka Cider Lady’s Finger owes its unusual name to a distinctive elliptical shape. However, there are many different versions of Lady’s Finger, as it is an often used generic term.

Foxwhelp is back. An early season cider apple that has been grown in Herefordshire for four hundred years. It is iconic, no apple is more recognisable instantly in the glass, through it’s strawberry-come-raspberry aroma or it’s lip smacking acidity. 2020 was an off year for our trees, meaning they produced…
