La Duchesse 2024
This perlant Perry is made from Duchesse D’Angoulême dessert pears from Kent with a small quantity of true Malus sylvestris apples from the North Downs. It has a vinous texture, with bright acidity and all but dry, this brings feelings of sunny summer days on windswept heaths to mind. As far as we know, nobody else makes a Perry from this pear variety.

Quietude 2023
Quietude is a still, light, fresh and juicy table cider with a mild acidity which tails into a soft, tannic finish. Very easy drinking and undemanding, this cider would do well to accompany simple meals and relaxed conversation.

Tea & Two Slices 2023
Tea and Two Slices cider is the all and the everything. This is made with what’s left when all else has been sectioned off into this thing or that thing. All wild fruit and all wild fermented, this still, medium-dry cider has a tang of Atlantic minerality from Cornish coastal apples, is unrefined and unapologetic. This year, it's a bit of a beautiful tannic monster, but we love it. Take it or leave it, if you don’t drink it, we’ll drink it ourselves.

Caervallack Wild 2024
Caervallack Wild cider is made with fruit from an orchard just near Manaccan. Varieties in the 2024 are Manaccan Primrose and Cornish Longstem with a little Dufflin and Colloggett Pippin. It has flavours of baked apple, hay and a floral note from the Manaccan Primrose. A big malic acid delivery, pairs well with anything rich and fatty.

Colloggett Pippin SV 2023
Single variety, still cider. Colloggett Pippin, also known as Cornish Giant is one of the largest cider varieties, in some instances making fruit as big as a cantaloupe melon, which is apt because there’s a hint of that in the cider. It’s also tart with a long tannic finish. Best served cellar temperature.

Pear Apple Pet Nat SV 2024
It’s not a blend of apples and pears, it’s a cider plain and simple. Actually it’s a single variety cider made with pear apple, a variety rediscovered by James Evans & Mary Martin as a single tree growing in a derelict orchard in Golant and named because it looks like a pear. Imaginative. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only producers making a single variety cider with these apples. We will definitely be making more. It’s dry and still with a lovely round, tannic middle, pairs very nicely with strong cheese. Fresh as a spring breeze.

Rook 2024
Rook still cider is a single-orchard blend of apples from an orchard near Porthallow. The orchard contains over thirty varieties and many of the trees are unapologetically biennial in habit. Consequently, the character of the cider varies significantly from year to year. The harvest of 2024 was rather heavy on bittersharps and light on bittersweets so this year the cider is somewhat bracing, but juicy and fruit forward with a sherbetty zing.
