The cider is crafted using a blend of Yarlington Mill and Brown’s apples, and is reported to have a full-bodied profile with light effervescence and a medium-dry finish. Featuring a 6.5% ABV, the cider is being offered via the Sanford Orchards website and select retailers in cases of 12 500ml bottles priced at £35. The product maintains deep aromatics and taste complexity, which is rounded out with the crispness of Brown’s apples.
Moons Cider Owner Tom Moon commented on the Orchard Moon cider saying, “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.”
