Organic Ciders
The Welsh Borders, particularly around Herefordshire and Worcestershire, are traditional cider-producing areas. Our selections are from Westons at Ledbury - award-winning producers.
"Unspeakable carouses
That shame the summer sky
Take place in little houses
That look towards the Wye;
And near the Radnor Border
And the dark hills of Wales
Beelzebub is warder
And sorcery prevails.
For spite of church and chapel,
Ungodly folk there be
Who pluck the cider apple
From the cider-apple tree,
And squeeze it in their presses
Until the juice runs out,
At various addresses
That no one knows about.
And, maddened by the orgies
Of that unholy brew,
They slit each other's gorges
From one a.m. till two,
Till Ledbury is a shambles
And in the dirt and mud
Where Leominster sits and grumbles
The dice are stained with blood !"
