Planted in 1934, these veteran trees produce yearly a small amount of fruit of the most exceptional quality. We’ve been working to restore each orchard since 2018 by pruning and replanting trees into the gaps that have inevitably appeared in the orchards’ long lives. We hope that these new trees will come to be loved by the cider makers of the future as much as we love the ones that we’ve inherited. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eVital statistics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e4.4% Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTitratable acidity: 3.2 g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eResidual (natural) sugar: 32.9g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMedium, perlant, unfiltered, unpasteurised, wild fermented, pure juice, natural cider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIngredients: Apples (Kingston Black) hand-picked from unsprayed  traditional standard orchards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOrchard\/s:  Duffryn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePressed November 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNo added sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBatch no: M249\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBatch size: 354x 75cl bottles \u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eClosure: crown cap\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.
