Cranborne Chase Cider The Smuggler Dry

Bill Meaden started making cider in 2011 as a hobby business at Myncen Farm, Minchington (just outside Blandford) to make use of local fruit which would otherwise have been wasted.

Cider making has always been a family tradition, with Bill’s grandad and great-grandad making cider to drink on their farm.

‘The Smuggler’ is his dry offering, cold-fermented to expose its natural yeast and sugers.
