Crafting Cider at South Hill Cider: Our Cidermaking Process & Traditions
it all starts with the apples
our cider making philosophy
Letting the terroir shine through traditional cider making techniques and attention to detail
At South Hill Cider, we use traditional cider-making techniques to craft ciders marked by their individuality, quality, and elegance. Each apple variety has a different voice and our aim is to assist it in speaking from its core. Some varieties like Golden Russet and Geneva Bitter like to show more fruit and floral characteristics thus being bottled earlier while others like Siberian crabapples like to mature for a year in burgundy barrels developing texture and elegance more akin to a red wine.
