Orpens Cider, Refreshingly Real Details
Cider is a fascinating beverage, with an intriguing, ancient history. And while it is mostly consumed and packaged like a beer, it is in fact much more like a wine than a beer. The only real difference between a cider and a wine is the fruit from which it is made. One beverage uses apples, and the other grapes. Many years ago, two friends, Chris Hill and Matt Tindal had an idea. Both were working in the Irish wine trade and were enjoying the business of selling famous wines from around the world. But they yearned of standing proudly behind an Irish product of similar pedigree and crafting. The idea quickly became an obsession.Firstly, our cider is not from concentrate. We want to craft cider that proudly sings of its Irish origins. To do that we need to work with fresh apple juice that's as unprocessed as possible.Our cidermaker is a perfectionist. He has numerous, passionately-held theories why cider should only be crafted from fresh juice. We suggest you only bring this topic up with him if you have a great deal of time on your hands and a bar stocked with Orpens.We all agree that using fresh juice, rather than reconstituted juice concentrate, gives our cider its zip, its smile and its sense of place.We select specific apple varieties for our cider. Different apple types have different characteristics - they can look different and we all know they taste different.By choosing just the right combination of apple varieties, we are able to craft a cider that is not only balanced and crisp, but authentically delicious.True to our winemaking roots, we also don't use added flavours or colourants. And perhaps most importantly, we don't pasteurise the finished cider – which means we don't heat it up to sterilise it; as we believe this "cooks" the fresh flavours.People ask us why we go to all this extra effort. Just taste the result – all the answer you need is in each sip.Refreshingly real Irish cider made from fresh pressed apples.
