Traditional Welsh Cider

Traditional Welsh cider is made from the first-pressed juice of cider apples grown in Wales. The apples used in the process can be of one or a mixture of different indigenous and non-indigenous varieties. The cider is light to dark gold, and it can be clear or cloudy.


The flavor is fruity, acidic, and citrus-like. The finish can be either very dry or sweet, and its alcohol content ranges from 3% to 8.49%. It's made under strict rules, so the only additives used while making this cider are cultured yeasts, sulphite, and calcium chloride salt.


The cider can be sold in bottles or draught kegs, and the bottled ones may be sparkling or still.
