To call a drink ‘cider’, it must contain only 35% apple juice and can even be from concentrate. Could you imagine drinking a wine made from 35% grape concentrate amongst other jargon? No, us neither… Luckily however, there are those who deviate from the industrial orthodoxy. Artisans who value and nurture the terroir upon which their fruit grows, celebrating the history and diversity of the cider apple and encouraging a riot of complexity to unravel without manipulation. Pure articulation of fruit & true expression of terroir. It may be contested by other Westcountry folk, but, Devon’s long sunlight hours, proximity to the sea & red sandstone soil make for the best apple growing conditions in the world. Here at Darts Farm, we’ve been making craft cider from iconic East Devon orchards for over 20 years and are proud to be a small part of our counties great cidermaking heritage.
