Hollowmere presses apples from one orchard in a valley that has grown them since 1897. Nothing is brought in and nothing is rushed.
The orchard
Forty acres, eleven varieties, and trees older than anyone who works here. We pick by hand, press in the barn, and ferment on wild yeast in old oak. Some years that makes a sharper cider, some years a softer one. We bottle whatever the orchard gives us.
The ciders
Each comes from a different corner of the orchard. The dial shows where each one sits between bone dry and properly sweet.
The year at Hollowmere
Tap a season to see the orchard in it. The same trees are drawn each time, grown from the same seed.
Visit
Tastings run in the old press barn. You try all four ciders, walk the first three rows, and meet whoever is pressing that day.
