THE CIDER
A special one-off release from 2021; pure fresh apple flavours and lean crisp acidity drive through this beauty. A selection from a tank that was destined for the Appellation blend but which presented such an intriguing quince note that meant it just had to get its own limited edition release!
THE PEOPLE
Polly Hilton and husband, Matt, set up Find & Foster to revive neglected traditional apple orchards in Devon, helping preserve wildlife & biodiversity, and to protect old local apple varieties from extinction. Their ciders are a true expression of these unique varietals and the terroir in these orchards.
THE PLACE
The heritage orchards of the Exe Valley in Devon are a vital part of the region’s rural landscape and agricultural history. Nestled among rolling hills and riverbanks, these traditional orchards are home to a wide variety of old English apple cultivars, many of which are unique to the West Country and often undocumented and unnamed. When managed organically or with low intervention, the orchards support local biodiversity, providing habitat for pollinators, birds, and wildlife. As well as preserving genetic diversity, the fruit from these trees is increasingly used for high-quality, small-batch cider and perry, reflecting a deep connection to place and tradition.
