2018 APQ Cider

2019 APQ cider

very complex, bubbles are alive. It is as fresh as the day it was bottled.

2020 APQ cider

Lots of pears in this APQ. It has very aromatic qualities, like roses - possibly coming from that very dry and hot year. The pears had a beautiful blush and that character has shaped this cider.

Apple, Pear & Quince 8% alc

APQ is our Apple, Pear & Quince cider. Created in the heart of Autumn as the grape harvest comes to an end. The base is the usual mixture of certified organic apples from the Shultz family of Forest Range, as well as local pears from big old trees, and wild apples and quinces collected from around our neighbourhood.

Apples, pears and quince pulped then pressed through Summer meadow hay cut from our farm. 2023 APQ has an element of its fermentation in clay amphora along with old French oak barrels. Bottled as a Pet Nat with a further years slow fermentation in bottle.  A thirst quenching delight for the wild and savoury lovers . A fruity combination and a refreshing drink when seeking something lower in alcohol and higher in life. Like our wine, this cider remains raw and living.
