Sandford Orchards launches Figgy Pudding Ice Cider, a fabulously festive alternative to fortified wines

Award-winning cider maker, Sandford Orchards, is thrilled to launch Figgy Pudding Ice Cider.

It is a limited edition, oak aged ice cider steeped in dried fruit and is a fabulously festive English alternative to fortified wines.

The rich apple is wrapped in layers of Christmas aromatics including clementine, cloves, allspice and star anise. Each mouthful releases notes of caramel, mince pies and the glorious decadence of the festive season.

Barny Butterfield, Chief Cidermaker at Sandford Orchards comments:

“Our new Limited Edition Figgy Pudding Ice Cider is the perfect festive tipple. Icing is a method used widely in wine-making, and we have introduced it to cider from our beautiful Devon orchards.

During the specialist process the cider apple juice becomes intensified, sweeter and richer. We have used dried fruit and spices to give this limited edition a fabulous festive twist.”

Available now in 500ml bottles RRP £25.00 from the Sandford Orchards website as well as selected retail outlets.

Figgy Pudding Ice Cider is also available as a gift boxed bottle, complete with two brandy style serving glasses, which will make a very special Christmas gift.
