This Valentine's Day say "no" to wine, Champagne or Prosecco. But say "yes" to Sandford Orchards' Devon Rosé Cider & Katja Rosé

Spring, including the day for lovers and sweethearts the world over, Valentine's Day, heralds the premium cider-drinking months and award-winning Sandford Orchards has two perfectly pink options to quench your thirst for authentic cider: Devon Rosé  and Katja Rosé.

Devon Rosé Cider (ABV 4%, 500ml bottles RRP £2.85.

Devon Rosé is an elegantly clean and fresh rosé cider, bursting with the fruitiness of Pinot Noir red wine grapes. It is a delicious, medium sweet cider made from Browns, Katja and Jane apple varieties which are fermented with grape skins to give the cider a fabulous depth of flavour and a beautiful blush colouring. 

It can be enjoyed on its own or as the ideal accompaniment for a goat cheese tart or Devon high tea.

Katja Rosé (ABV 8%, 750ml bottles RRP £11.00.

Katja Rosé is a sumptuous sparkling skin-contact rosé cider, crafted from the dessert apple Katja  produced using the Martinotti method and fermented with Rondo grapes. It is a fresh and fruity cider which tastes of sun ripened cherries and peaches, with hints of apple blossom and candyfloss, balanced with tannins from the wineskins. 

he addition of the Rondo grapes bestows wine notes and an unmistakable rosé finish to the cider. Katja Rosé is a delight in its own right but also the perfect accompaniment to lighter fare such as high tea or a salad niçoise.

Founded in 2002, independent, family-owned Sandford Orchards is based in Crediton, Mid Devon in the oldest working cider mill in the UK.
