Porter's Perfection Cider Juice
A Somerset Legend, Pressed and Ready
Porter's Perfection has earned its name. This classic Somerset bittersharp apple produces a juice of remarkable depth — rich, smooth, and beautifully structured with mellow tannins and just enough acidity to keep things lively. It's the kind of juice that ferments into something full-bodied and complex, with that unmistakable West Country character serious cidermakers seek out.
Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim 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.
