"The philosphy of making a good cider is the combination of the best quality cider apples and a great deal of patience."
Gavin and Kevin planted their first apple trees in 2011. They now have 800 trees - quite sufficient to make some cider...
Their ciders are made from traditional cider varieties such as Kingston Black, Dabinette and Darlington Mill. These apples are not eaters. They are smaller, tarter and less juicy. They will ferment slowly through winter creating ciders with a lovely balance of fruit, tannin and freshness afforded by extra maturation which develops flavour and softens the tannins.

Donhead Craft Cider 6.5%ABV
The secret to a full-flavoured craft cider is the blend of late-season apples used. They stay on the tree until November when they are harvested and start their long slow journey to becoming A Great Taste Award winning Craft Cider! This cider has deep bitter-sweet flavours with a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect accompaniment to charcuterie and roast pork.
