[200 bottles made]

We thought it would be fun to make a blend that was a nod to the heritage of the village, Bratton Seymour, where our cider production HQ is based. ‘Seymour’ is rumoured to be a corruption of the French ‘Saint-Maur’ and we liked the idea of using apples that originally hailed from France, were grown in Somerset and married with Somerset apples in the tank.

Of the three ciders, Seymour Blend is possibly our favourite. It’s a brave cider, with a full bittersweet astringency we find toothsome, quaffable and very much at home in Somerset. There is also a delightful rosewater-like finish to the cider, which is very enjoyable. We’ll definitely be making more of this blend in 2021 [for release in autumn 2022].
