Kingston Black Cider Juice

The World's Most Coveted Cider Apple, Pressed and Ready

Kingston Black needs no introduction. Widely regarded as the finest cider apple ever grown, it produces a juice of extraordinary complexity — a true bittersharp with deep, wine-like tannins, bright acidity, and a richness that few varieties can match. A single-varietal Kingston Black cider is a benchmark; in a blend, it elevates everything around it. Getting your hands on this juice is rare — we press it in limited quantities from our own trees at The Orchard Point Prim.

Pressed and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the variety at its peak. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or hold it until your next batch is ready.

We always recommend a cider-specific yeast and yeast nutrient when fermenting. If you've been waiting to make the cider you've always wanted, this is where it starts.
