Rural Method

The Davies brothers think this is their best rural method yet and we agree. Dani explains this year's cider and the story behind Rural Method below:

"The aim of the Rural Method was to have a cider with just a little sugar left, not quite dry. It seemed like this was harder than making a sweet cider using the same process. 4 years later in 2019 it feels like we have produced a cider fitting the original brief we had set ourselves. After disgorging, the cider is clear and we feel well balanced now that the acidity has softened after a year in bottle it’s mellowed into a lovely traditional tasting West Country style cider. A blend of Foxwhelp (bittersharp), Dabinett. (Bittersweet), Chisel Jersey (bittersweet) and Michelin (bittersweet) all harvested from a beautiful old orchard between Hay on Wye and Bredwardine. Wild yeast fermented, no additions, disgorged after one year in bottle."
