Description

Authentic French cider is one of the great undiscovered pleasures of the drinks world. Made the traditional way, fermented slowly in the bottle, and built from heirloom apple and pear varieties you'll never find in a supermarket, it bears almost no resemblance to the mass-produced ciders most Australians know. This bundle is your invitation to find out what you've been missing.

We've chosen six bottles that travel across the three great cider-making regions of France (Normandy, Brittany, and the Pays d'Auge) and span the full spectrum from delicately sweet to bone dry, with a beautifully aromatic pear cider thrown in for good measure. It's a "bit of this, a bit of that" pack, designed for sharing across an afternoon, exploring at your own pace, and finding the style that speaks to you.

What's in the box?

Each bundle contains one of each of the following ciders:

Fournier Brut Cidre de Normandie, 4.5%, 750ml
Fournier Doux Cidre de Normandie, 2.5%, 750ml
Manoir Kinkiz Cidre 'Cornouaille', 5%, 750ml
Manoir Kinkiz Cidre 'Fouesnant', 6%, 750ml
Père Jules Poiré Bouché, 4%, 750ml
Roger Groult Organic Apple Cider Pays d'Auge, 5.5%, 750ml

How to enjoy

Serve cool but not ice-cold (around 8 to 10°C) so the aromatics open up. Pour into wine glasses rather than tumblers, and take your time tasting between styles. These ciders pair beautifully with charcuterie, washed-rind cheeses, roast pork, seafood, galettes, or simply on their own as an apéritif.

Perfect for cider-curious drinkers, anyone planning a French-themed dinner, or as a gift for the wine lover in your life who's ready to explore something new.

Each one of our bottles is taste-tested and hand-chosen by some of the best palates in the southern hemisphere. Only once a bottle has been deemed crème de la crème, do we add it to our catalog. Finding the perfect bottle isn't always easy - but with us, it is.
