Our purpose is to help restore the status of cider to the type of elevated, country wine that would have made our forefathers proud.
We do this by making distinctive ciders of unmistakable quality that champion the delicious apple character of our local orchards in Herefordshire and the Teme Valley.
We believe the best flavour comes from traditional, tannic cider apple varieties, free from sprays, pesticides and fertilizers, rather than the intensively farmed commercial orchards (or worse – concentrate) used for the majority of ciders today.
We also believe that the best flavour is achieved by minimal processing – even if this means, like wine, the cider is slightly different every time you drink it. This is what our family calls “Closer to the Apple”.
We are from a long line of publicans and our focus has always been on pubs. We love pubs, and the people in them. And that is what cider is really about – people.

Everything we make is made from unsprayed, low intensity, traditional orchards from the farms and estates of Herefordshire and the Teme Valley. With its unique microclimate, red sandstone and rich clay soils, the conditions are perfect for powerful, tannic cider apple varieties. We like to think of Herefordshire as cider's Bordeaux.
Some of our growers have been supplying Robinsons for generations. A few are still picked by hand - hard work!
We only use traditional tannic cider apple varieties: Dabinett, Harry Masters Jersey, Yarlington Mill, Foxwhelp, Brown Snout, Tom Putt and Kingston Black, to name a few.
“No cookers, no eaters” as they say around here. Some of these varieties are not planted commercially any more.

Yes, it's called a "cider works", not a "brewery"! Robinsons' yard where the cider was made was always known as "The Works" in our family.
Our cider is pressed, fermented, matured and blended in a traditional way, bypassing many of the more commercial cider making techniques, with great care taken to let the delicious fruit character of our apples shine through.
Robinsons Cider is made in a similar way to wine, and, like a wine, there are vintage and other variations. It's even different from tank to tank. This means that whilst the recipe remains consistent, each glass of cider is ever so slightly different. Or as we like to put it, "Closer to the Apple".

All our ciders have a deep colour, a rich, apply aroma and full-flavoured, bittersweet apple character. You can taste the orchard in every glass. Have a look at our range for more information on each of our ciders including tasting notes and food pairings. Cheers!
