Celtic Marches ‘Thundering Molly’ (5.2%)
Celtic Marches is one of the larger craft cidermakers in the county and have been farming 200 acres of orchards for eight generations. They grow eight varieties of cider apples and produce a number of different blends, each with its own character. Their bold branding stands out from the crowd and is intended to bring a traditional drink up to date.
Colcombe House ‘Willie Gunn’ (5.3%)
The orchards around Colcombe House have been producing apples for local cider makers for almost 100 years. The pick of the crop is kept to make the Colcombe House blends and the Willie Gunn is their flagship cider. Named after a type of fishing fly, it harks back to the former life of the house as a Victorian fishing lodge on the banks of the river Wye.
Newton Court ‘Yarlington Mill’ (6.8%)
Cidermaker Paul Stephens’ tasting notes explain the link between the cider and the geography that produces it perfectly: “One of the legends of the cider world, Yarlington Mill is revered by many cider makers as their favourite apple. It provides a cider with the colour, aroma and texture of the rich red Herefordshire clay earth. Big and bold, it is guaranteed to put hairs on your chest!
Oliver’s ‘Pomona’ (6.5%)
Tom Oliver is often cited as one of the stars of the cider world. We don’t want to show any favouritism but we couldn’t put together a Herefordshire case without including him! Pomona is a blend of Michelin, Dabinett, Yarlington Mill & a touch of Foxwhelp. As with all of his ciders, this is fermented with wild yeasts and without sulphites so is as wild as it gets.
Ross on Wye ‘Birdbarker’ (5.8%)
Mike and Albert Johnson are also heroes of the cider world and have done a huge amount to advance the cause of real cider. They produce an incredible range of single and double varietals, some of which we’ve featured before, but Birdbarker is their most accessible, showing that you can make an excellent ‘everyday’ cider with real character and complexity.
Wilce’s Medium (6%)
Another family concern with a long cider-making tradition, Brian Wilce is the sixth generation to grow apples and make cider on the family farm in Ledbury. All of the apples used are grown within 4 miles of the farm, where their specimen orchard contains no less than 34 varieties of cider apple.
