Tasting notes

On the nose the honey abounds and instantly transports you to the wild Welsh coast where bees forage nectar from the purple heather during August through to October. In the mouth the heather’s smoky taste is still there but balanced by the light acidity of Binet Rouge, a Normandy variety of great repute. 

What is cyser?

Thought to date from at least mediaeval times Cyser is made from the fermented juice of apples and honey. Rarely seen these days, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to make some when we were offered honey by our friend Sam of Afon Mêl meadery. 

Food pairing suggestions

We enjoy drinking this in flutes and paired with smoked charcuterie and creamy cheeses. 

The story behind the cyser

Our fruit is harvested by hand from two trees planted in 1934 into Duffryn orchard, a wonderful place that we have been gradually restoring since 2018.

Does the cyser have a use by date?

Unopened and stored in a cool, dry place our cider will be good to drink for around three years  As a general rule, like wine, cider has excellent capacity for ageing.

If the cider has been opened we recommend sealing with a champagne stopper and storing in the fridge for no more than 24 hours.

Is the cyser vegan friendly?

Cyser contains honey so is not vegan.

Is the cyser 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.

Does the cyser contain sulphites?

Our cyser does not contain sulphites, however our perries contain a trace amount.
