about us

We are traditional cider makers, creating vintage, English style ciders from heritage cider apples grown on our family orchard in Upper Moutere.

Our ciders are made with 100% juice. Apples are picked when tree ripened; the apples are pressed on the farm and carefully blended to create a full, rounded juice balanced in sugars, acids and tannins.

The cider is slow fermented, and left to mature through the winter for up to nine months before being bottled or kegged.

what they are saying

“Geoff Griggs describes our cider as one of “my favourite liquid memories of this year’s MarchFest”, in his article, All the Right Ingredients”
“Our “mind-blowing boysenberry cider” fared well at the recent Cider Showcase held at the Moutere Inn - read Fritz and Maria’s views in their blog, Autumn: Hops and Apples”
“Interested in the story behind our cider? Read this feature, A Fruitful Endeavour in the Nelson Mail.”
“Great overview of the local cider scene in February’s Wild Tomato: Super-cool cider makers of Nelson & Marlborough profiled.”
