The company, based at Ardress, Armagh, is the first from Northern Ireland to gain an award in the competition that is supported by Freedom Foods.
“Having grown up and been surrounded by apples, making cider was a natural choice for me,” said Greg MacNeice, manager of the family-run cider business. “However, it wasn’t until I tasted the fragrant and aromatic ‘cidres’ of northern France that I was inspired to use our own delicious apples to create our own distinctively traditional Irish craft cider.
“We are immensely proud to receive such a prestigious award from the highly influential National Trust.”
