Abel Methode Cider is made by us in small quantities, crafted from 100% apples and pears. We hand harvest tree-ripened fruit, crush it, then ferment until dry. This is quite different from your usual cider as we ferment the skins, stalks, pips and all, to maximize fruit aromatics and flavour. Abel cider is unfined and unfiltered. This basically means we allow our cider to naturally clarify via gravity to retain character. It's fermented in the bottle, like champagne. This natural carbonation gives a finer bubble which retains the aromas and flavours. Bottle fermentation adds complexity and texture, as well as giving cloudiness from the natural yeast sediment that remains.

Our cider is dry as this is the way we like to drink it - refreshing and full of flavour! ENJOY You have a couple of options when it comes to enjoying a bottle of Abel Methode Cider: EITHER...Place bottle upright in the fridge overnight, the colder the better. This will allow the natural sediment to settle to the bottom of the bottle. When you're ready to drink it, pour the clear cider (everything but the settled sediment) into a champagne flute or wine glass of your choice. OR...If you like cloudy cider, invert the bottle a couple of times then pour away!

A sweet-sharp apple that with a classic apple aroma, reminiscent of ripe and waxy apples. The resulting cider is characterised by its perfume and juicy acidity. Overall perception of the cider and its finish is dry.

Peckham's - Fresh berry against a structured cider background, with no added sugar.  This cider captures the aroma and taste of fresh, whole, Nelson boysenberries.  It's probably the only berry cider you will find made from 100% Juice.

The Three Bearies lived in a log cabin in the woods. One day, when a young lass named Goldilocks swung by for a visit, she had an opportunity to sample the tasty beverage they had created. Upon sampling the succulent libation she was moved to exclaim, in a rather excited voice, ?why, it?s not too sharp, yet not too subtle?in fact, it?s just right!?.

Blending the vibrant flavours of raspberries, boysenberries and blackcurrants with a delicious apple base, the brew upon which our analogy is based is made from the finest ingredients, using the most natural process imaginable. 

Full-bodied yet delicate and refined, the rich interplay between the berries produces a lively aroma and a big ?jammy? taste making it the ideal companion for long walks through the woods, or virtually any other outing or occasion you can think of!

From craft brewing pioneers, the McCashin Family, comes the cider that's unlike any other, combining pure glacial water, the finest crushed apples with fresh ginger and Hawke's Bay lime juice.

Zeffer - This Kiwi classic has won too many awards (and fans) to mention on here. Delicious is the only way to describe this cider. If you can imagine a freshly baked slice of apple crumble served with vanilla ice cream… this sums up the taste of this beautifully balanced cider perfectly.

Our head cidermaker crafts this ingenious flavour using freshly crushed apples infused with cinnamon, vanilla and blackberry leaves.

No nonsense – just real cider crafted from all-natural ingredients in sunny Hawke’s Bay by a few friends.
