Sandford Orchards launches Devon Rosé Cider

Cider maker Sandford Orchards has launched Devon Rosé Cider, a medium sweet blush cider, made from English apples and the skins of Pinot Noir red wine grapes.

With an ABV of 4%, the beverage is a clean and fresh rosé cider made from Browns, Katja and Jane apple varieties.

Barny Butterfield, chief cidermaker at Sandford Orchards, commented: “As cider evangelists, we love nothing more than creating a new cider guaranteed to entice more people to become fans of this fabulous apple nectar. We’re confident that Devon Rosé Cider is one of those drinks. Lovingly produced here in Devon, from locally grown apples, we’ve fermented the cider with the skins of Pinot Noir grapes to give it a delicate pink hue and a fruity kick.”

The cider will be available for purchase from February from selected UK retailers and online in 500ml bottles at an RRP of £2.80.
