It's light and delicate with a tiny hint of drying astringency lifted by a merest whisper of residual sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally sparkling, this cider has been disgorged à la volée. In using this ancient French technique, used in champagne making, we are able to remove the sediment from the bottle. The work is all done by hand and is slow, labour intensive and highly skilled but is preferable to us in terms of retaining flavour than the more industrial process of filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1318\/4169\/files\/hedge_springer_23_stats.jpg?v=1786964880\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eFood pairing suggestions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff dry with notes of orange peel, pair this with slow cooked beef alongside roasted beetroot, parsnips and potatoes.

Apple season begins with the last of the Summer warmth and for us, will continue until the last apple is gathered by hand and pressed at around Christmas, by which time our limbs will be as heavy as the sacks of apples we’ve just spent the last three months filling!     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eVital statistics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.0% Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitratable acidity: 3.0g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual (natural) sugar: 10g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff dry,ancestral method, unfiltered, unpasteurised, wild fermented, pure juice, natural cider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Apples (Tremlett’s bitter, Brown’s apple) hand-picked from unsprayed  traditional standard orchards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrchard\/s: Dilwyn, Duffryn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed November 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo added sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatch size: 875x 75cl bottles \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork and cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly will I receive my order?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEverything is packed and shipped by us (Tom and Lydia) at the cidery and we aim to get all orders out within two days of purchase.
