The Sanford Orchards Devon Rosé Cider is a new addition to the cider maker's portfolio that's crafted with high-quality ingredients to achieve a clean, fresh finish. The cider is crafted using English apples along with the skins of Pinot Noir grapes to impart a touch of blush color and flavor to every bottle. Featuring a 4% ABV, the cider is crafted with Browns, Katja and Jane apple varieties, and is arriving in the UK starting in February at a price point of £2.80 per 500ml bottle.
Chief Cidermaker Barry Butterfield spoke further on the new Sanford Orchards Devon Rosé Cider saying, "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."
