£9.50Harry Masters Jersey is a powerful bittersweet apple that benefits from time. This cider combines five oak casks we fermented in 2019, spending six months in barrel before maturing for one year in a neutral container. After a long, patient wait, we opened them up to taste and knew instantly…

One of our favourite apples – but an unknown variety! We planted these trees in the late 1980s as Ball’s Bittersweet, only for DNA identification in 2022 to reveal an astonishing truth – not only were they not Ball’s Bittersweet, they have a completely unknown genetic profile! A unique mystery…

The 2020 Raison d’etre is fantastic and unique. Due to the growing conditions, for the first time, Michelin, which DNA analysis revealed to actually be the variety Bisquet, is the dominant apple in the blend. Bisquet is a much softer and leaner variety than Dabinet and accordingly the oak cask…
