Grown of the Welsh Marches, this naturally sparkling grape skin contact cider is a celebration of some of the finest produce of our local area. Once pressed Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grape skins, organically grown by Black Mountain Vineyard were layered into barrels with fresh pomace of Foxwhelp apples harvested from 90 year old trees in the Golden Valley. After macerating this heady blend overnight, the mixture was then pressed the following day before being allowed to ferment naturally.

Vibrant, ripe blackcurrant sits cosily with an autumnal woodland earthiness and a wisp of lip-licking salinity on the finish. Pairs beautifully with honey drizzled goats cheese.

Black mountain vineyard and winery is a small organic vineyard in rural Herefordshire, near the boader with Powys, Wales.

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.

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.
