Micheline, Stembridge Jersey & Vilberie from the orchard at North Cadbury blended with eating apples from Bratton Seymour.

This is our fourth vintage making Seymour Blend and we feel we’re getting good at it. ‘Tis definitely a personal favourite; there’s something wonderful about how it encapsulates the best of so many West Country varieties and somehow also manages to call to mind the ciders of Northern France.

This cider has more pronounced tannins than our other ciders, which are a lovely foil to the natural sweetness and aromas of warm hay. We find it’s bittersweet astringency toothsome and moreish and  it’s the one we like drinking the most.

Interestingly, Seymour blend seems to develop the most during ageing, turning into an ‘orangey’, wine-like complexity with lovely bittersweet zesty astringency. The cider of 2022 really demonstrates this. Try it alongside the 2023 vintage for comparison.

We thought it would be fun to make a blend that was a nod to the heritage of the village, Bratton Seymour, where our cider production HQ is based. ‘Seymour’ is rumoured to be a corruption of the French ‘Saint-Maur’ and we liked the idea of using apples that originally hailed from France, were grown in Somerset and married with Somerset apples in the tank.
