Rooted in the old ways, poured into the new – our ‘ol fashioned scrumpy is back, but now in nifty 330ml cans.
Daylesford Cider’s Scrumpy is cloudy, gutsy, and unapologetically real. Our goal was to produce the kind of cider you’d expect from a farm barrel, full of character and authenticity.
This cider was fermented using our own homegrown yeast, aged for 10+ months and left unfiltered so is full of raw orchard character that we love!
Lost on Wild Fermentation?
It refers to the use of naturally occurring wild yeast strains present on the apple skins to initiate the fermentation process. As opposed to using bought, commercial yeasts, which are specifically cultured strains. Instead, wild yeasts introduce a variety of microorganisms into the cider, often making it more complex and interesting.
Many cider enthusiasts appreciate wild-fermented ciders for their unique flavours and the connection they provide to traditional cider-making practices.

Beautifully crafted, more refined than any other scrumpy we have tried, some delicate florals come through with that familiar scrumpy punch we love. Highly recommended, the perfect pick me up for when you’re needing a crisp fresh drink and this will be a poolside favourite throughout summer. We will be enjoying more.
