Twisted Cider planted their first Apple & Pear trees in 2007 in the picturesque farmlands surrounding the tiny village of Longburton in the beautiful county of Dorset. Knowing that the finest cider comes from a good mixture of Sweets, Bittersweets, Sharps & Bittersharps we decided to plant the following varieties: Broxwood Foxwhelp; Crimson King; Dymock Red; Frederic; Kingston Black; Stoke Red; Sw
eet Alford; Morgan Sweet and Chisel Jersey. Taking a natural approach to our growing method the fruit is untreated and left to mature at its own pace until the flavours are bursting through. When the fruit is at its ripest stage they are carefully handpicked and put into storage. Here they are left for a few extra days of ripening before the juice is released. The apples are then washed in Dorset's clear natural water to maintain its freshness and any parts that aren't perfect for our cider removed. When the apples have been made into cheese's from the pulp they are pressed by hand releasing a beautiful aroma that fills the air with the sweet smell of rich fruity apples. As the juice trickles down like a sacred waterfall it's collected and placed into our vats. Left to ferment over the winter months, bubbling before your eyes letting you know this natural chemical reaction is in full process. With spring on the horizon the cider is racked off into our oak barrels to mature giving it full body and taste. With the early mornings and warm air starting to fill our life once more, letting us know Summer is on the way we check the cider for taste. We know it's going to be a good year and want to share this with you buy capturing every essence that went into our Natural Misty Cider giving you the freshness of a true Southwest beverage.
