€4.00

Our naturally sparkling Keeved cider is unique in Ireland, being the only Irish Cider to be made using the ancient technique of Keeving. Named after the famous Irish cider apple tree Cockagee, this was our ﬁrst commercial release back in 2012 when we entered the world of professional cider making  Delicate fresh apple aromas and rich fruit ﬂavours, a robust and full bodied, complex cider with a soft natural sparkle, bittersweet twist and long dry ﬁnish. Serve chilled in a stemmed glass (never over ice in a pint 🙂 enjoy on it’s own or as a food accompaniment. An ideal Irish and local alternative to Prosecco, Champagne or Cava etc.

Description

Cider Mill:

• Mark has a small family farm in The Boyne Valley in Slane Co.Meath- 12 acres of orchards.
• His ciders are farmhouse crafted ciders, handmade and pressed.
• They are made from 100% apple juice.
• Naturally fermented- no added yeast culture.
• Gluten free- vegan friendly.
• The apples are grown using organic and biodynamic methods.
• They are low in carbonation for better ﬂavour and enjoyment.
• They are unﬁltered & unpasteurised.
• No electricity used- he uses gravity to blend the apples- real old school style.
• He uses a rack and cloth press- they have been used for 2000 years and its a very traditional method for pressing apples- not many people use them anymore but you can get a great quality juice from them.
• From pip to sip, any apple waste is reused by using it as compost in the orchard or being given to neighbour as cattle feed.
