Balfour Cider (12)

Elegent • Balanced • Award-winning

Balfour Cider is a refined and balanced cider crafted with a winemaker’s precision at our estate in Kent. Made entirely from fresh juice of Kentish apples — especially the dessert varieties Cox and Egremont Russet, balanced with the vibrant acidity of Bramley — the result is a medium-dry cider that marries softness and crispness. With a nose of freshly cut apple and a palate of pear-drop sweetness and fresh apple acidity, it delivers 5.4% ABV and is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

We’ve taken the precision and provenance of winemaking into the orchard, fermenting our apples with wine yeasts, blending with care and treating the juice as we would our wines. Balfour Cider is our expression of English fruit grown and crafted with finesse. Fergus Elias Head Winemaker

The Story

From orchard to bottle, Balfour Cider is treated with the same winemaking care we apply to our wines. At our Kentish estate, each apple variety is fermented separately with carefully selected wine yeast and then blended by our winemakers to achieve a signature style; clean, crisp, and bursting with local fruit character. Winner of the 2023 International Cider Challenge Trophy (Best medium-dry) and the Global Cider Masters Masters Trophy (Best UK Cider) this cider represents a sophisticated take on English craft cider. It is approachable yet crafted for flavour.
