Dorset Nectar

Award-winning artisan ciders made from sun-ripened cider apples, pressed at the orchard’s barn near Bridport, Dorset, patiently nurtured to create a smooth cider that is fruity and bursting with flavour. In 2006, when Oliver and Penny Strong were making metal sculptures and topiary, they settled with their family on a wildly beautiful cider orchard in West Dorset, as a place to create their renowned sculptures whilst growing shrub topiaries and harvesting their apples. DNC was born during the recession of 2008. As the sculpture exhibits fell through, the push to produce hand-crafted products from the apples became the focus. Sons and daughters took on the running of an orchard, making cider from the apples and craft ale brewing. Show Less
