REAL CIDER

The Knight Family have been growing and pressing cider apples here at Crumpton Oaks, nestling in the foothills of the Malverns, for three generations.

The success of our Real ciders in winning many awards, locally and internationally, has justified the drive to produce our ciders from only 100% blended cider fruit. Thus, over the last 30 years, we have increased our orchards from 25 to 200 acres representing 60,000 established trees with a further 10,000 trees in our nursery for planting in 2004.

The combination of traditional fruit and careful blending, together with modern equipment and hygiene, enables us to create consistent quality refreshing ciders.

MALVERN GOLD Medium Reserve is a full bodied Real Cider rich in tannins and flavenoids which create its natural flavour and golden colour.

Made from our home grown, fresh apples, we press, ferment and mature prior to filtration and bottling. It takes at least two and a half Pounds of apples to produce every bottle of cider.

MALVERN OAK Dry Reserve is a refreshing, balanced cider made from a variety of traditional cider apples, including Yarlington Mill, Harry Master's Jersey, Dabinett and Kingston Black.

With the help of ‘mother nature', our cider's are fermented to 6% alcohol to encapture the full flavour of the wine of the orchards, differing from many other ciders due to our unique blend of bittersweet cider apple varieties.
