Wine Sale Information

Our Cider

MADE FROM 100% FRESH CRUSHED APPLES

NOT FROM CONCENTRATE

Our hand-crafted premium apple cider is sourced only from orchards in the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills. The eight week  process starts  within  the  orchards as  the apples  are  carefully  hand  selected  for  flavour and acidity. To retain the fresh natural apple flavours the fruit is crushed and then cool fermented at the Sidewood Cidery within hours of picking.

Sidewood Apple Cider is super fresh, clean and fruit driven whilst retaining the perfect balance of sweetness and refreshing acidity. A premium natural cider.
