Somerset Redstreak Cider Juice

A Heritage Bittersweet, Pressed and Ready

Somerset Redstreak carries the weight of cider history in every bag. Once the most celebrated cider apple in England, this heritage bittersweet produces a juice of real elegance — rich, mellow tannins, gentle acidity, and a natural sweetness that ferments into smooth, full-bodied ciders with lasting depth. It's a variety that speaks directly to the West Country tradition, and one that serious cidermakers return to for its character and complexity.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and 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.
