Cranborne Chase Cider have had a standout harvest this year. The orchards across the Chase produced apples with high sugars and a clean, bright flavour. It has given them some of the best juice they have pressed in years. Cider Bill only wrapped up the harvest last week.
We collected 440 litres of their fresh apple juice; that is roughly 7,500 apples! It is a generous contribution and it gives real momentum to our next releases. This juice drives the newest addition to the Orchard Spirits Range, our Pommeau, and a new Great Bustard 'Autumnal' expression that brings quince into the mix. The quince came from Martin Nye, the current High Sheriff of Wiltshire.
