Tasting notes
A variety that needs little introduction, pink fleshed and strawberry scented, Foxwhelp is possibly the zingiest apple that ever graced the Earth. First recorded for use in cider in the mid 1600s, it’s also one of the oldest and has always been highly prized.
Food pairing suggestions
Serve this sparkling cider in flutes and pair with rich and creamy pasta dishes and soft British cheeses such as Tunworth or Winslade. We think this cider is best served chilled.
The story behind the cider
The trees that produced the apples for this cider are some of the most magnificent we work with. Arranged in an imposing avenue they are around 80 years old and 40ft tall! One of the first apples in all of our orchards to begin falling, harvesting Foxwhelps by hand in the September sun is the perfect way to kick off the harvest.

We are hugely proud to be the first UK cidery to publish our carbon foot printing data. Since 2021 each bottle produced has contained this information on the label and we are pleased to say that the carbon associated with each bottle is decreasing with each vintage as we continue to make changes in the cidery. We believe that sharing this data is essential for us all to start being able to make conscious and informed choices about what we consume and the effect those decisions will have on our planet.

FAQs
How quickly will I recieve my order?
Everything 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. If you need your cider more quickly, get in touch and we'll do our best to help!
Orders are shipped via Parcel Force on a next day delivery service.
Does the cider 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 cider vegan friendly?
Yes, our only ingredient is apples!
Is the cider 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 cider contain sulphites?
Our cider does not contain sulphites, however our perries contain a trace amount.
Who designs your labels?
All of the label artwork and graphic design is done in house by Lydia using traditional materials. The labels are printed onto recycled paper by a wonderful, local family run printing company and then stuck to the bottles by us using an up-cycled, and crucially, plastic free glue invented by Tom.
Check out our range of postcard art prints featuring Lydia's label art from past vintages!
Can I come and collect my order from the cidery?
