£3.50One 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…

£3.60The first ever Porter’s Perfection SV from Ross on Wye! A late season bittersharp that is very popular across the United States, it is instantly recognisable due to its tendency to grow fused apples. A muted aroma leads into a refreshing, acid leading cider with a grassy, dried leaf character.…

£10.00The 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…

£3.95A very rare variety which dates back to at least the 1700s, and quite likely even earlier. It has a soft and gentle texture with a little acidity and only slight tannins. Hints of lemon compote, garden flowers and ripe, tasty pear. An easy drinking and delicate perry. 500ml. 5.2%.

Sherrington Norman is an old Herefordshire variety that was first widely propagated by the founding Bulmer brothers. Today it is not commonly available, a great shame as it produces a bittersweet cider of the highest quality! We treasure our five trees and celebrate whenever we have enough for a bottling.…

A favourite apple of ours: a mild bittersweet which fruits early in the season. It has a soft, gentle flavour, characterised by a fruity middle and delicious light tannins that combine with satisfying drinkability.

In 2014 we grafted a row of Spanish varieties in our Strawberry field orchard, managing to lose the list identifying them in the process. This is the second release from those apples, and this time we have been able to capture the cider Pet Nat. The flavour profile is reminiscent…

Speckled russet is the name we gave to this unidentified pear, which looked unlike anything we have ever seen before or found documented! However, it is delicious and satisfying to drink, with texture, tannins, a hint of pepper and a touch of juicy sweetness. 500ml. 6.7%.

£3.50Stoke Red is a bittersharp apple variety which produces a cider with a balance of both acidity and tannin. This bottle is made from just one single tree, planted on the farm nearly 40 years ago. In 2021, the fruit had higher than normal tannins, so we gave this cider…

Tardive Forestier, whilst widely recommended in the 1930s, is not found on many farms today and detailed information on the variety is scarce. Here, even 28 months of maturation later, the flavour retains a fierce bitterness, with hints of coriander. This is almost certainly the only single variety Tardive Forestier…

An excellent variety originating before 1886 somewhere around Much Marcle and Dymock. A generous cropper, the tree grows very straight upright, handy for livestock grazing! The flavour is crisp and tangy, reminiscent of the very best artisan lemonades. 500ml. 7%

£3.60

Yarlington Mill is one of the all time great bittersweet apples. This is the first harvest from our young, top worked trees. The fruit they produce is large and beautiful but perhaps a little immature. This Yarlington is a little quieter than typical. A gentle flavour gives us a cider…

Yellow Huffcap is a wonderful variety, but it is one of those pears that could also be described as a “nightmare”. As a tree it is magnificent; easily growing to more than fifty foot tall. That becomes a challenge during harvest as this is one of those pears which “bletts’…

Yellow Huffcap is a wonderful heritage variety that produces gorgeous, tear drop shaped pears that prove a challenge for the cidermaker! They ripen in a tiny, twenty four hour window, meaning you have to be quick to harvest these pears as soon as they fall. Work swiftly and the perry…
