Our Cider
journey
It begins with a conversation.
known for infamous cider
Caro has fond memories of watching her Dad hard at work making his ‘infamous’ homebrew cider. Sharing a mutual love for heritage apples and cider, husband Chris got talking to his father-in-law about the process of fermenting cider. Armed with a backyard full of home-grown apples and shared knowledge, Chris began this cider making journey in 2012.
Experimenting with different production styles of cider, there was one in particular that Chris and Caro felt stood out from the crowd. Mèthode Traditionelle, or the ‘champagne method’ of crafting cider, produces a sparkling cider that emulates the sparkling wines that the Tamar Valley is well-known for. Having decided to start producing their cider on a commercial scale, they travelled to Europe where they explored the traditions behind Mèthode Traditionelle.
Armed with new-found knowledge, they returned to Tasmania and began working to perfect the cider they are increasingly known for today. And so, the next generation of ‘infamous’ cider was born.
