Barny Butterfield, who is Chief Cidermaker at Sandford Orchards said: “Most of us are too young to remember the last coronation so we are eagerly anticipating some fantastic celebrations across the country. We wanted to mark the occasion with the launch of our Coronation Limited Edition Devon Red Cider, which is created from British apples grown and pressed in Devon, using traditional methods, at the oldest working cider mill in the UK.
"No coronation parties will be complete without it! Why would you toast the new King's health with French champagne when you can raise a glass of 100% British cider?”
Limited Edition Coronation Devon Red Cider (ABV 4.5%) is a perfectly balanced, refreshing medium cider. It is a naturally tasty and utterly delicious fresh apple cider created from British apples grown in orchards rooted in the rich, red, fertile soil which surrounds Sandford Orchards.
Founded in 2002, independent, family-owned Sandford Orchards is based in Crediton, Mid Devon in the oldest working cider mill in the UK. The area has long been known as one of the most fertile parishes in all of Britain, both for its grazing and ability to grow apples. Crediton sits in the lee of the moors, so receives the right amount of rain and the right units of heat in summer.
Sandford Orchards takes a fresh, natural and low impact approach to producing cider. Combining tradition and innovation, Sandford Orchards produces an award-winning range of core session, traditional, flavoured and fine ciders.
