Sandford Orchards has teamed up with Moons Cider to unveil Orchard Moon, a new, richly flavored cider.
Orchard Moon boasts an ABV of 6.5% and is meticulously crafted from Yarlington Mill and Brown’s apples. It harmonizes the “deep aromatics and complexity” of Yarlington Mill with the crisp, green apple essence of Brown’s, culminating in a full-bodied cider that carries a gentle sparkle and a medium-dry finish.
Sandford Orchards adopts a fresh, natural, and environmentally conscious approach to cider production, offering a diverse selection of core session, traditional, fine, and fruit ciders.
Tom Moon, owner of Moons Cider, said, “I was unsure about creating a medium/dry cider. I was concerned it might be too dry and challenging with the single varieties we were using, but it was great to work with Andy [May, head cider maker at Sandford Orchards], as he made sure to balance the strengths of both so that they complemented each other perfectly. We’re excited by the final blend and think this is a cider people will enjoy and keep coming back to.”
Orchard Moon can be purchased on Sandford Orchards’ website and at selected retail outlets, priced at £35.00 for a case containing 12 x 500ml bottles.
