Press Release

The team at the Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co Ltd based at Broome Farm in Peterstow have been celebrating after winning the ‘Champion Cidermaker’ Award at the Cider Trials held in May 2011 during the Big Apple weekend at Putley.

With 67 different producers and over 180 entries, judged by all of the other cider makers present, Ross-on-Wye Cider was awarded first prize for both Medium Cider and Sweet Cider and gained enough points in the other classes to be awarded the overall ‘Champion Cidermaker’ award.  This is the fifth time in ten years that the team at Broome Farm has won this award reflecting the consistent quality of their products.  The company also won first prize in the class for Dry Perry.

Mike says “To win a prize at these trials is particularly rewarding as the judging is carried out by your fellow cider makers with each entrant able to vote for their three favourites in a ‘blind’ tasting where all the entries are identified only by a number.”
