Early in bleak January, when the fieldfares fly low over the last of the sodden seed heads and leafless trees cast cobweb silhouettes against cold, blue skies, we summon the spirit of the Green man to the orchard in the hope that with enough cajoling,
might bless the fruit trees with a bountiful crop come Autumn. The word wassail comes from the Anglo Saxon ‘Waes Hael’ meaning ‘good health’, and the tradition of gathering in the orchards was first recorded as far back at the mid 1500s. Wassailing for us has become an essential part of what it means to be a cider maker; if the promise of a decent haul of fruit wasn’t enough, the opportunity to foster community at the same time as sprinkling a bit of magic on the darkest month of the year is impossible to resist. 6.4% Vol. TA: 4.8 g/l R/s: 30 g/l 6x 75cl Medium, pet nat, unfiltered, unpasteurised, wild fermented, pure juice, natural cider Ingredients: Apples (Binet Rouge, Yarlington Mill, Knotted Kernel and minority of mixed bittersharps) Handpicked from unsprayed traditional standard orchards Orchard/s: Jury/ Duffryn Pressed November 2022 No added sulphites Batch no: M229 Batch size: 65x 75cl bottles FAQs

Yes, our only ingredient is apples!
Is the cider organic?
We only use organically grown, unsprayed apples in our cider. Due to the number of orchards we care for belonging to other people we are not able to offically certify ourselves organic at this point in time.
