This natural fruit wine is made exclusively from quince, hand picked in orchards on the banks of the river Brue in Somerset. The quince’s rose-like floral aroma and unique tartness make a truly distinctive, full flavoured drink with a long fruity finish. Acidic and tart it goes well with strong…
Black cherries fermented with crushed limes and aged in neutral oak barrels for seven months. Fresh lime aroma on the nose joins rich cherry on the palate. Natural sweetness and soft tannins are layered in from Somerset bittersweet apples for a confident cider finish. Three Cherries is an experimental fermentation…
Spiritous aroma with a joyful whisky zing A lightly sparkling cider, made from 100% Gilly bittersharp apples – a hybrid apple created at the Long Ashton Research Station in the 1990s. We have collaborated with The Ciderologist and Circumstance Distillery, maturing our Gilly cider for 9 months in Circumstance’s 200L Oak…

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…
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…
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…
Our Ellis Bitter (82%) and Foxwhelp (18%) apples grow side-by-side in Hangman’s orchard, on a steep, south facing hillside. They ripen at the same time, and thus we often choose to blend them together. These are powerful apples, meaning that the real key to this cider is timing. Fermenting in…
Hagloe Crab is an old variety hailing from just a dozen miles from our farm – dated as early as the 1720s. This is the fourth vintage our young trees have given us and, in our eyes, it is by far the best yet! Hagloe produces a cider with crisp…
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…
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’…
Our first harvest activity of the year was late August where we collected the windfalls and a large amout of George Caves. These later apples were a little over ripe but carefully hand picked. The juices were full of flavour but without too much acidity. Half the juice was wild…
