This cider is made from orchards that lie between the rivers Brue and Sheppey in Somerset. These two rivers link the small towns of Bruton and Shepton Mallet and encircle the village of Pilton, Glastonbury Tor and an archipelago of apple orchards. They define a unique terroir, famous for generations…

We have collaborated with The Ciderologist and Circumstance Distillery, maturing our Gilly cider for 9 months in Circumstance’s 200L Oak…

Butterscotch, bourbon, and bubble gum; delicate fresh apple, vanilla, marshmallow, with a sour apple candy finish. Balanced and playful, but with enough complexity to chew on. 82 varieties of apple sourced from a single Luxembourgish meadow orchard, aged 8 months in stainless steel; 13 months in freshly emptied Woodford Reserve…
We all like surprises. IBC 47, lingered invisible at the bottom of a stock sheet somewhere and tucked away in the corner of the barn unloved and forgotten. Only to be stumbled on when converting the barn to our new ciderworks. What we know is that it is a pre…
The Outsider …. A true expression of our Terroir. 2017 was cooler and wetter than the previous growing season, so the harvest as you’d expect was almost all green, crisp and sharp. This shows through in this vintage. Light golden in colour with a crisp green apple nose, sharp fresh…
In short a young, single fermentation version of Outcider. Our aim was to contrast and compare the edges of these two spontaneously fermented ciders before and after Malolactic fermentation and show how the complexity changes when you change malic acid into lactic acid creating a milkier mouthfeel. Single variety high…
This is the classic Herefordshire style blend: 75% bittersweet (two parts Dabinett, one part Ashton Bitter) with 25% sharp to add some juicy acidity and balance in the form of Browns Apple. We gained further complexity by fermenting the Browns and Ashton Bitter in Kentucky and Scottish oak casks respectively.…
The three varieties in this cider were pressed and fermented individually, matured and then blended for bottling by us on a cold December morning. It begins with HMJ, a full and grippy bittersweet apple. We add another: Dabinett, fruit-forward and flavoursome. To complete, Reinette d’Obry, a light, yellow, acidic variety…
A historic Herefordshire dessert apple first recorded in 1826, Adam’s Pearmain produces a soft, perfumed cider with a silky texture. There is light florality, a gentle hint of lemon, with an easy drinking quality. Not a complex cider but certainly a very pleasant one. Perfect with fish or charcuterie, best…
In 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…

Two classic bittersweet apples meet in one glorious oak barrel. The resulting cider is massive – bursting at the seams with flavour, tannic potency, and Ross-on-Wye character. ABJ & Dabinett are iconic varieties; and working together in harmony here they layer their flavours in all their forms. Aromas of dried…
Cider is meant to be shared with friends, and so it’s not a surprise when the best ciders are the ones you make with their help. Nicky Kong, founder of the Manchester Cider Club and The Cat in the Glass bottle shop, with our dear friends Cath & Dick went…
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…
Can a drink be a window? This is a single variety bittersweet cider, matured in an oak cask, aged patiently, and bottled when it was ready. Yet it is also a campfire of burning peat, it is the caramelized honey on the joint of pork, it is the singular expression…
Blakeney Red is one of the most popular pear varieties in the Three Counties. This wonderful fruit has been celebrated for centuries for its full bodied flavour. This bottle showcases the distinct 2022 vintage – a year where we saw more structure in our drinks and bolder tannins. This edition…
A rich, vibrant, fruity blend of Blakeney Red – the most widely grown Perry Pear. One third oak cask from 2018, with two thirds young and lively 2019 season. The resultant Perry is a complex mix of seasons that thrills the tastebuds with a full body and a mischievous sweetness.…
Bramley is an apple that needs no introduction – but did you ever try it as a single variety cider? We’ve grown Bramley on the farm for more than two decades and never released a S.V before, but that time has come! This is a beautiful sparkling cider full of…
Hailing from Gloucestershire, Brandy Pear is a rather is a rather unusual variety to find as it characteristically produces smaller trees and so was quickly and aggressively grubbed out when it became less popular. The cause of its lapse in popularity is a mystery as it produces a rather delicious,…
Bridgewell is the name of our small ‘mother’ orchard of new varieties, planted ten years ago. A number of new apple varieties that we now adore grow there – Northwood, Improved Lambrook Pippin, Gloucestershire Underleaf, Porter’s Perfection – alongside old favourites, such as Chisel Jersey and Bulmers Norman. This cider…
