Ellis Bitter Cider Juice

Bold Tannins in a Bag — Ready to Ferment

Ellis Bitter is one of the most respected bittersweet cider apples in the English tradition, and our freshly pressed juice delivers everything that reputation promises. Deep, richly coloured, and loaded with firm tannins and natural sweetness, this is the juice you reach for when you want your cider to have real grip, body, and a finish that lingers.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, the juice retains its full character from orchard to fermentation vessel. Our test batches confirm it can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or save it for when the time is right.
