Our Ciders
Current Batches
Hollowman

Strength: 6.4% ABV.
Year: 2017.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
This batch took its time coming round. Annual tastings left us underwhelmed and we weren’t sure what to do with it, so we just let it be. Five winters have passed since then and it has mellowed at last. A reminder that after apples, time is our most important ingredient, smooth, crisp and complex.
Standen Deliver

Strength: 6.8% ABV.
Year: 2020.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
Many hardy people braved wind and rain to harvest the apples in this batch at Standen Community Orchard Association’s Apple Day. We swapped apples for cider and used the unusual varieties to produce this complex, very drinkable cider.
10% of sales from this batch go to maintain and preserve this wonderful community resource.

Shepherd's Gold

Strength: 6.2% ABV.
Year: 2019.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
With a nod to the orchards that provided most of the fruit, Shepherd's Gold is a homely mix of cookers and eaters from Little Shepherds and Little Goldsmiths Farm (plus a few from Alex the Vet) all in our parish. Long matured it has a clean crisp mouth feel softened with sweet apple tones.

Remains of the Day
Style: Dry, Real Cider.
Strength: 5.8% ABV.
Year: 2017.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
Back in 2017 we mixed Blenheim Orange from Laurel Tree Farm, cookers from Mick Scrace’s orchard and the last of the villagers gifted fruit, to go into oak barrels. With more juice than barrels we put aside the leftovers and forgot all about it - those extra years maturing have created something special. Light, floral, oaky and refreshingly astringent, delivering layers of apple fruit and skins and finishing with a lingering memory of those Blenheim Oranges.
Boar's Back

(Available to Cider Club members only)
Strength: 6.5% ABV.
Year: 2018.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
We took John O Prince, and Spartans from Greenway Farm just down the road and mixed them with Cookers from Mick Scrace’s reclaimed orchard. The result is a light, clean, green appley cider that has softened delightfully with age.

A bit of OMFF
(Available to Cider Club members only)
Strength: 7% ABV.
Year: 2018.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
A hodgepodge of apples swapped for cider from orchards and gardens around the village. Picked and pressed with friends. We've no idea which varieties go in to this, yet every year OMFF echo's previous batches. Smooth, full flavoured with clean acid tones: our signature cider. Dedicated to our children; Oscar, Margot, Felix and Freddie.

Bonnie Prince
(Available to Cider Club members only)
Strength: 7.5% ABV.
Year: 2018.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
A fiesty batch this. The fermentation went on and on and when the sun shone it blew the lid right off the tank. A mix of John O Prince, Breaburn and Spartan from Greenway Farm and Scrace Cookers have produced a strong, refreshing crisp green cider with notes of Granny Smith sweet and sharp.

Cockhaisy
Strength: 6.8% ABV.
Year: 2018.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
We took cider apples from the back orchard at Cockhaise Mill Farm and blended them with eaters to give a pleasing dry with plenty of complex notes. After the picking we picnicked with Roger and Cathy and friends from the Cider Club right on the edge of the Bluebell Railway while steam trains whistled by.
Last Pear
(Available to Cider Club members only)
Strength: 6.8% ABV.
Year: 2018.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
Dom and Cassie found two ancient pear trees among their apples: the last of their kind. Hard to pick, hard to press but exploding with juice. We blended them with conference pears and left them for even longer than usual. We’ll take cuttings from those trees and hope for more.

Discrace

Strength: 6.9% ABV.

Oakhaisy
(Available to Cider Club members only)

Strength: 6.7% ABV.
Year: 2015.
Attributes: Certified Gluten Free, Unfiltered, Unfined, Vegan, Vegetarian.
Allergens: Sulphites.
We pressed a batch of cider and dessert apples from Cockhaise Mill Farm back in 2015 and come the summer, well, it hadn’t had enough time yet. So we poured it into old oak barrels and let it sit. The result shows that sometimes patience is the most important ingredient. Bursting with deep rich tannins over a fresh acidic base, the apple tones balance beautifully with the oak.
